Saturday at the Volunteer Carnival!

On Saturday, June 25, we held our annual Volunteer Appreciation Day at Winnipeg Harvest. We transformed our warehouse into an interactive carnival for our volunteers of all ages to enjoy. We were delighted to welcome 283 guests! There were games like bean bag toss, hockey shoot out and pond fishing among others and volunteers collected raffle tickets to try to win our fantastic raffle prizes! We also had face painting, slushies and a delicious lunch served in our new kitchen and lunchroom facilities. We had special guests from the RCMP (and their horses!) and from the Winnipeg Police Department. We enjoyed a wonderful performance from the Dare to Clog Dancers. (Check them out at http://www.daretoclog.com/).

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.
