<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">While
we were blessed with a wonderfully mild winter and at times, an unseasonably warm
spring, the Victoria Day long weekend is when you really begin to see the outdoor
activity shift into a higher gear. Cottages are opened for the season, anglers
start dropping in their lines in lakes & rivers and gardening stores are
packed with customers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Whether
you’re planting flowers or vegetables, to invest the time and effort to nurture
something that can provide you with so much pleasure is something that should
be celebrated. Gardening can be an enriching experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Did
you know Winnipeg Harvest has a program which combines gardening with philanthropy?
Did you know it’s been around for more than 25 years? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">It

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Ron
(shown below) and Eunice O’Donovan produced more potatoes in their backyard
garden than their family could consume.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So instead of disposing of the potatoes, they donated them to the Food
Bank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The response to their generosity
was so positive they decided to encourage others in their own neighbourhood to
also donate their surplus vegetables to Winnipeg Harvest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Grow-a-Row Campaign</i></b> was
born and has been <i>growing </i>ever since; yielding nearly three million
pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Did you know
that more than 55,000 Manitobans have relied on food banks over the past month?
If all 55,000 of those people lived in the same city, it would be the second
largest in Manitoba. That is more people than would fit into the new stadium
being built in the south end of Winnipeg. And it’s more than 55,000 too many. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Today marks
the beginning of National Hunger Awareness Week. Hunger is something almost
everyone can identify with at some point in their life. Fortunately for most of
us, it’s usually a temporary thing lasting a few hours or a day or two at the
most for those who have had to fast for medical reasons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">But can you
imagine what it would be like to go to school hungry as a child? Or to go to
about your adult life hungry for a day?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sadly, for too
many people in this country, it is something they live with each and every day.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">If you want to
know what it’s like to be hungry, challenge yourself this week…Know what it’s
like to have food out of reach by challenging yourself to give up your lunches
or a food staple for the week. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Winnipeg
Harvest remains committed to reducing by half, the number of people reliant on
food banks by the year 2020. We need your help to reach this goal.
Understanding why it’s so important is a step toward that goal. </span><br />

CTV – Winnipeg Morning Show Host Eleanor Coopsammy is showing a feature about Floral Philanthropy and its connection to Winnipeg Harvest.<br />
<br />
So what is ‘Floral Philanthropy’? The concept is simple. The description is clearly outlined on <a href="http://floralphilanthropy.wordpress.com/about/"><span style="color: #009eb8;">http://floralphilanthropy.wordpress.com/about/</span></a> <br />
<br />
“Floral Philanthropy is a unique, first-in-Canada program which re-purposes the flowers from your event to bring joy, healing and therapeutic benefit to others. Volunteers retrieve the flowers from your venue, redesign the arrangements and redeliver these petal pick-me-ups to persons who rarely receive such gifts of hope.”<br />
<br />
If you want to see how Joyce Berry, Hennie Corrin, Barry McArton (pictured below) bring their unique talents to the process, make sure you check out the piece in the CTV – Winnipeg Morning Show tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. <br />

2012 Empty Bowl Celebrity Auction, presented by Manitoba Lotteries<br />
And while the event itself won’t take place until November, the planning for the 2012 Empty Bowl Celebrity Auction, presented by Manitoba Lotteries, has started. The organizing/planning committee for the 2012 Gala holds its first meeting this week.<br />
<br />
Some talented people are bringing their skill set to help organize this Gala, one the signature events Winnipeg Harvest holds each year. For every $1 raised, Winnipeg harvest is able to leverage that dollar into $20 worth of food.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img alt="" class="deferred" data-src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1893203080958486643-6062548336170587126?l=winnipegharvest.blogspot.com" height="1" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" width="1" /></div></div><div class="article-footer"><div class="publish-info"> Posted <abbr class="time published" title="2012-01-16T18:28:00.000Z"><span style="color: #333333;">16th January</span></abbr> by <a class="url fn" href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/05131379546782953842" rel="author"><span style="color: #009eb8;">winnipegharvest</span></a></div></div>Winnipeg Harvesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373302795404117436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679103501080448213.post-64744592939399426622012-01-12T07:57:00.000-08:002012-01-12T07:57:06.323-08:00January 12, 2012<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">January 12<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

It means more volunteer hours, more pick-ups to ensure more people are getting the food donations many so desperately need at this time of year. Food & Warehouse Coordinator Chris Hoover says pick-ups this month are up about 50% from last month, but says that is the norm for December.<o:p> </o:p><br />

For $20, you can create your own piece of art at Prairie Stained Glass on Sargent Avenue. All finished glass products go to Winnipeg Harvest as gifts for volunteers. CBC T-V in Manitoba featured Prairie Stain Glass on their Saturday December 10<sup>th</sup> newscast.<o:p></o:p><br />
