Winnipeg Chapter

About Our Chapter

Our Winnipeg chapter has been focused on bringing relief to the city’s needy since 1998. Some of the projects we have created or facilitated include a free 2-week summer camp for kids who are wards of Child and Family Services agencies, providing life skills classes to youth who are in the foster care system or living independently, Christmas parties for inner city families, and serving the Winnipeg community through community cleanups, barbecues and blood drives.

HOPE Volunteer Corps (HVC) Winnipeg 2024

July 28th to August 10th, 2024, we'll be hosting volunteers from across North America as we run our Max Out Summer! day-camp for youth in foster care and youth affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. We're needing plenty of volunteers from Winnipeg to make the event a success and plenty of HVC participants from across the world to make the day camp memorable for children in need.

She works as a Regional Manager for Community Nutrition. Though a Dietitian by profession, one of her favourite hobbies is baking (nothing healthy)! The rest of her time is spent with family: her husband Jordan, two sons Aidan and JJ, and of course their dog Buddy!
