Agape Table

www.agapetable.ca

Founded in 1980 by a volunteer Board of Directors, Agape Table was established to serve free hot meals to people in the inner city.  30 years later, Agape Table still serves a hot meal at the breakfast hour without qualification or judgement.

Today, Agape Table offers so much more than emergency food.  Our subsidized breakfast and Grocery Cooperative offer our community members access to the nutrition that they choose.  Our Agape Table for Kids program offers market quality produce to families in need.  Our art, craft, and music circles are teeming with creative energy.

Community members of Agape Table are single parents, the working poor, expecting mothers, unemployed, children, seniors, people with disabilities, and other people who desire access to nutrition.  Supporters of Agape Table are the community partners that make that access possible.

Winnipeg Harvest

WISH CLINIC

http://wishclinic.ca

Winnipeg’s Point Douglas Community was recently identified as the area in Winnipeg with the poorest overall health and the highest level of poverty. A group of committed health sciences students in Winnipeg, believe that we can make a tangible contribution to improving health in this area.

At the WISH Clinic, they provide non-judgmental, socially responsible, holistic health care to a population that struggles with poorer health than the rest of the city. Health care is provided by post-secondary students and licensed professional mentors from a broad range of disciplines that includes, but is not limited to, Dental Hygiene, Dentistry, Dietetics, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Psychology, Social Work, and Spiritual Care.
