We hope that we can slowly grow again and be successful,” Guenther said. “Winnipeg has supported Feast and what we stand for from Day 1. We’ve worked really hard at trying to make a name for our Indigenous food, people and culture through our restaurant. Food is so important and it really does feed the body, mind and soul.”
Red Seal chef Jim Johanson volunteered to prepare meals for elders and families in need.
