From September 14 - October 13, 2009, Red River Co-Op is pledging to match your donation dollar for dollar up to $10,000 to keep Winnpeg Harvest's trucks running.

Donations can be made online, by phone, or mailed to the Winnipeg Harvest office. Tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more.
