Organizations partnered to bring food from Winnipeg to northern Manitoba, Ontario First Nations

A quest to deliver thousands of pounds of food to a remote Manitoba First Nation only accessible to vehicles for six weeks of the year via an ice road has culminated in a new partnership to improve food security.

Volunteers from Harvest Manitoba food bank, the Regional Food Distribution Association in Thunder Bay and Maxim Truck & Trailer drove more than 3,000 kilometres earlier this month to drop off 4,000 pounds worth of food in Shamattawa First Nation in Manitoba and in Fort Severn First Nation in northern Ontario.
