Over 4,200 pounds of prepared\u00a0food, protein, dairy, and fresh produce \u2013 including onions, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, eggs, yogurt, beans, and entr\u00e9es are going to\u00a0Siloam Mission’s kitchen following the annual\u00a0Winnipeg Folk Festival.<\/p>\n
The 51st annual Festival brought in enough food\u00a0to provide three meals a day for four days, totalling approximately 6,000 high-protein, hearty, and nutritious meals for community members.<\/p>\n
The donation was made possible thanks to Chef Ben Kramer, several dedicated Winnipeg Folk Festival volunteers, Second Harvest Food Rescue and Shortline Transport. The collaboration ensured excess food was delivered to people who need it most.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The need for food donations was timely as outside temperatures continue to rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Siloam Mission tries to keep up with demand and operates the overnight shelter and drop-in 24\/7,\u00a0demand for food and water has skyrocketed. To help stay hydrated, over 600 bottles of water are being given out\u00a0to help community members stay hydrated and safe during the heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over 4,200 pounds of prepared\u00a0food, protein, dairy, and fresh produce \u2013 including onions, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, eggs, yogurt,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":801076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-801075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=801075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=801075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=801075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
