Many families rely on the support of school meal programs. So during the summer, that support disappears when summer break starts. For many Manitoba children, summer is a season of uncertainty.
To help close that summer gap, Harvest Manitoba (Harvest) delivers nutritious meal kits to children in need through our Meals2Go Summer Pop-up program . This program, in partnership with After the Bell, a national initiative supported by Food Banks Canada, sees Harvest distribute nutritious kits at pop-up locations at various Winnipeg schools during the summer months.
This summer the need in Winnipeg has grown to record levels with distribution of Meals2Go kits having already passed 10,000 kits in the first 4 weeks of summer – more than the program distributed in July and August 2024.(last year)
Harvest Manitoba relies the support of donors to ensure funding for programs like Meals2Go. The cost of each kit is $10 for breakfast and snack items for a week. To donate or find out more information, please visit www.harvestmanitoba.ca
