Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/04/2021 (1983 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It typically takes at least 7 volunteer actions to collect, inspect, tally, sort, pack, load, and deliver one item of donated food. Last year, Manitobans donated about 11 million pounds of food to Harvest – and Harvest Community Food Network volunteers at 325+ food banks and agencies across the province delivered it to Manitobans in need. These Harvest Stars donated 190,000 hours of their time to get that food to hungry Manitobans. It was front line service. They did it anonymously. Today, we thank and recognize every one of them.
Kyle Leblanc, Lee Newton Volunteer Excellence Award Winner.
Kyle LeBlanc is one of our star volunteers, described by his peers as hard-working, dedicated, and passionate about feeding Manitobans. Kyle volunteers almost every day and has amassed over 6,000 hours. He achieved a record 2500 hours in his first 3 years. When COVID-19 hit, Kyle went from cooking and teaching in the kitchen to sorting in the warehouse. He did it with verve and spirit.
Margaret Pondo, Board of Directors Volunteer Service Award for 10,000 Hours.
The voice you hear on the phone in our Food Support Call Centre is our amazing Margaret. She has been our rock. Her friendly and respectful style makes all food recipients and newcomers feel welcome and respected. Nobody has come close to her 10,970 volunteer hours so the Board of Directors created a long service award in her honour.
