The Winnipeg Food Share Co-op is a community service co‐op whose members are community renewal organizations in Winnipeg. Winnipeg Food Share Co‐op is committed to good, healthy food for all. Our initial focus of activity is the distribution of a good food box to inner city residents and others who may be interested. Food Share Coop is responding to a need for healthy, accessible and affordable food for inner city families of low income, and hopes to contribute to a sense of community in the neighbourhoods it serves. The co‐operative is jointly governed by many inner‐city organizations and Food Matters Manitoba. We are looking for a volunteer coordinator to assist with the production and promotion of the good food box.
