Did you know that almost half of the Manitobans we feed every month are children?

Every newborn child deserves the best chance for success in their life. For too many babies born in Manitoba, poverty means some necessities of life can be in short supply. One in three babies in our province are born into poverty, and at Harvest Manitoba we do our best to help these children and their families.

“Due to medical complications, I was unable to breastfeed my baby after two weeks. Formula is really expensive, and I needed help to feed my son.”
– Amy

In addition to our typical food hamper programs, we provide special products exclusively to mothers with infants. That support includes providing baby formula, baby cereal, diapers and other infant care essentials.

“The First Steps program has been very helpful. With inflation, formula is very expensive, with their help I can put money towards toys, clothes, things like that.”
– Chantal

First Steps is a critical Harvest program – completely donor funded! This program can only continue with the generosity of Manitobans like you.

Please consider a gift to replenish funding for the First Steps nutrition program and support the growth, health and development of babies born here in Manitoba.
