matching weight donations by both Peak of the Market and Canada Safeway making

Keep those
pennies coming in!
Since the Federal Government announced last spring they were discontinuing making the penny and Winnipeg Harvest launched its turn pennies into dollars campaign, more than $7,000 worth of coin has been dropped off as a donation to us. Thank you!

Your donation will make a huge difference. For every $1 in
donation Winnipeg Harvest receives, we are able to leverage $20 worth of food.
Nearly 64,000 Manitobans rely on food banks each month.
