MADE IN MANITOBA PROJECT 🫶🏻
This year's project covers a broad spectrum of helping. It's entitled "Do What You Can". This gives members a chance to donate/give to causes that are closest to your heart.
Some suggestions include:
- Donations to local food banks- Visits to Personal Care Homes- Donations of clothes/books to Teen Challenge- Donating winter items such as mitts/toques to local schools- Donating new socks/underwear to local schools- Helping out a women's shelter or a home for u***d mothers with what they might need-Donations to local animal shelter-Cleaning out your closet for a donation to local thrift store.
There are so many ways we can help out someone in need and you can decide where you can Do What You Can. With tough times for everyone, I'm sure that any kind of help or donation will go a long way to helping someone else in need.
If possible, please send either a write-up or photo to Mallory at the MWI office.

The United Nations declared 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF 2026). The Year spotlights the essential roles women play across agrifood systems, from production to trade, while often going unrecognized. Women farmers are central to food security, nutrition and economic resilience. IYWF 2026 raises awareness and promote actions to close the gender gaps and improve women’s livelihoods worldwide. 👩‍🌾
So we are asking for short stories about you, or your friend, or family member. Look around your community to see who you think might to write a short story, who you might interview and record their story, or tell your own story. The stories don't need to be long - 2 type written pages would be great . If you write poetry, draw or express your ideas in other ways we will try and publish your story.
Our deadline is short as we are part way through the year. We would like to suggest that we gather the stories by October 1 to be published by early November. We hope you will consider making a submission for this special project!
