Give the gift of your time

Do you have a few hours to spare this holiday season? Harvest Manitoba is looking for volunteers at their Winnipeg warehouse and affiliate organizations across the province. 

It's easy to get caught up in all that we're missing, but giving the gift of your time is an investment that can make a difference to many.

Harvest Manitoba is always in need of volunteers to keep warehouse operations and food banks running smoothly. If you are able to spare a few hours of your time, Harvest Manitoba can pair you with an organization in need.
