Holy Cross School has a special program titled Harvest Days. One day a month everyone in the school community is asked to bring a specific item for the poor. The food items are collected and distributed through Winnipeg Harvest or through the Holy Cross Parish Food Bank.
Grade 7 and 8 students volunteer at the Holy Cross Parish Food Bank. Each Wednesday, a group of three or four students participate in the program from 8:30 to 11:00.
As part of Holy Cross School’s outreach program, the school coordinates a plan to have a large number of organizations throughout Manitoba collect pop can tabs. These tabs are recycled to provide funds for a wheelchair for a handicapped student in Manitoba.
To find out more about this program, please send an e-mail to our Faculty member, Ms. Buccini, co-ordinator of the Tabs for Wheelchairs program.
