In November 1999 St George’s Church signed a covenant with West Broadway Community Ministry in which it was promised to respond to their needs by volunteering time, and the sharing of accounting and management skills. Dinners are served Monday to Thursday, year round, at this drop-in centre. In 2003 a parishioner made a memorial donation of $25,000 to St George’s and agreed that it be used to benefit West Broadway Community Ministry over five years. We continue to volunteer time to Support West Broadway, and recently (end of 2023) providing funding to support the repair of the warming oven. West Broadway Program is now a part of 1Just City.
Winnipeg Harvest
Each week non-perishable food items are donated by parishioners which is delivered on a bi-weekly basis to Winnipeg Harvest to meet the growing food needs of many people in Winnipeg.
In January 1996 the Diocese of Central Buganda and The Diocese of Rupert’s Land signed a Companion Diocese Covenant. St George’s has played an active role in this Covenant, particularly with its assistance to the Ndoddo Parish — All Martyrs.
