Have you ever volunteered with one of the organizations that walks in Winnipeg’s inner city? The Thunderbirdz is one of those groups with whom United Church youth and adults have been connecting since 2021. When we walk, we present a friendly face and an offer of a sandwich or a bottle of water to someone for whom one of those things might be just what they need.
We have organized to walk again with the Thunderbirdz on Tuesday, May 20th.
Maybe you’d like to walk with us, or maybe you’d like to make sandwiches or buy fruit for others to carry out to people.
We meet downtown at 5:45 pm with a backpack to carry items we will hand out. Details in registration.
