Farm to School Manitoba has partnered with the Manitoba Association of Food Banks to provide participants an opportunity to donate foods to their local food bank.
Every participant who purchases vegetable bundles through Farm to School Manitoba has the choice to donate their purchase to the school's or daycare's chosen food bank. Schools and daycares still receive the same 50% of total sales regardless if the vegetables are purchased to keep or for donation!
Any vegetable bundles purchased for donation can be delivered for free by Peak of the Market directly to the Manitoba Association of Food Banks in Winnipeg. From here, the vegetables are distributed to their respective food bank locations across Manitoba. A list of food banks that your school or daycare center can donate is available to view by your Fundraising Coordinator and your choice can be selected at the time vegetable order is placed.
If your food bank of choice is not available, your Fundraising Coordinator has the choice to have any vegetable donation orders delivered directly to the school or daycare center along with the rest of the orders. These vegetables then become the responsibility of the fundraising group to deliver to their preferred food bank or cause.
