Monetary donations are being accepted between March 15 and 31 in support of Harvest Manitoba.

Anyone who donates through the main landing page will be entered into a draw for an autographed Mark Scheifele home jersey.

Non-perishable food, along with money, is going to be accepted Saturday, March 27th, at a drive-through event in the parking lot of Bell MTS Iceplex (3969 Portage Ave.)
