Give Manitoba

2 Manitoba 2 Manitoba Manitoba Fall 2023 Manitobans are incredibly generous at heart. The act of giving can be simple. It's something that Manitobans know well. Like the individuals on the cover of this magazine, appreciated acts of giving back can be as simple as assisting others with apple processing. Members of The Winnipeg Foundation helped those at South Osborne Community Garden by physically helping them press harvested apples. Anyone with prolific apple trees knows that they come in fast and furious. A lot of hands are needed to complete this job. Assisting directly, such as with apple processing or sand bagging during a flood, is in the Manitoba community 's DNA. When an immediate need exists, we do our best to meet it. But Manitobans also fully understand the need for long-term planning. Whether it's securing your family 's future or assisting with a local cause, funds are central to these plans. There are so many wonderful organizations that require our assistance. For that reason, the Free Press has reached out to organizations to participate in Give Manitoba. The goal is to remind others of our community 's needs in the event that you wish to support organizations doing wonderful work. Whether you wish to give a gift to your favourite organization during the holiday season or plan to incorporate them into your will, consider supporting these busy community-based organizations this season.
