CUPE Local 500 is proud to once again, host the "CUPE Members Can" food drive in support of Winnipeg Harvest.
We are asking Local 500 members to participate in the food drive on Tuesday, June 2nd, by bringing non-perishable food items to the ratification vote at the Norwood Hotel.
"In these trying times, it's important for CUPE to rally behind causes like Winnipeg Harvest to help those in our community who are struggling with hunger," said Local 500 President, Mike Davidson. "We care about our community. That's who we work for and who we serve every day."
Winnipeg Harvest distributes food to more than 60,000 people every month. Over 27,000 are children.
