It's been two years since Althea Guiboche started handing out bannock to Winnipeg's homeless.
She celebrated on Sunday by serving roast beef in a mashed potato bowl to people on Main Street.
Guiboche, who experienced homelessness herself, relies on donations to keep the operation going.

- Pride Winnipeg, 'Bannock Lady' to receive human rights awards
- Woman who brings bannock to hungry marks 1 year anniversary
Got Bannock started out small and now many have come to rely on Guiboche's generosity.
"I didn't have much reserves myself, and everyone was like do you have a plan, and I was it's hard to plan when you don't have much," Guiboche said. "I was just at the mercy of the donators, so look at what they did today."
Guiboche and her crew of volunteers are out at Main Street and Dufferin Avenue every other Sunday.
A fundraising event called "Got Art?" is being held on March 22 to help raise money to get the Bannock Lady a food truck.
