Share Your Thanks Food Drive

Help feed over 40,000 Manitobans this Thanksgiving by bringing in your Share Your Thanks paper bags to any Canada Safeway store. Thanksgiving's quickly approaching, and we still need your help!

How else can you help?

• Fill the bag with non-perishable items
• Feed a Family through a donation ($20 of food for each $1)
• Volunteer at the Winnipeg Harvest warehouse
• Fast on October 10 to celebrate Thanksgiving

If you didn't get your brown paper bag in the mail, Canada Safeway also has $5 and $10 pre-packaged hampers that can be bought in lieu of food donated.

Don't let Manitoba go hungry this Thanksgiving.

I've located a few extra pics from the September 28 press conference at Sisler High School, and thought I'd share them with the rest of our readers...

A big thanks again to the Students of Sisler Environmental Helpers, and those who have been bringing in food for the Share Your Thanks food drive.

Share Your Thanks

Starting this weekend, 122,000 brown grocery bags are being delivered to Winnipeg homes courtesy of the Winnipeg Free Press. Winnipeg Harvest is asking people to share their thanks and good fortunte with those in our community who are in need.

From now until Thanksgiving, simply fill the grocery bag with non-perishable food items and drop it off at your local Canada Safeway; or during your shop purchase a $5 or $10 pre-packaged food hamper.

Thanksgiving is the traditional time of harvest, a time to celebrate a good crop and our good fortune with family and friends. We usually load up our grocery carts with special purchases to make Thanksgiving dinner a memorable one. But the holiday can be bleak for many of our most vulnerable citizens. Winnipeg Harvest thanks you for Sharing Your Thanksgiving. Most grocery outlets are equipped with bins near the front of their store to accept your donation of groceries to Winnipeg Harvest year round.
