I opened the mail today and found the first letter addressed to Fruit Share.  Very cool.

Even better was what was inside the envelope.  (insert drum roll here)

The letter said…

Congratulations on being nominated for a Golden Carrot Award, as an Urban Community Food Champion!

How awesome is that!  Apparently we are, and I quote, “amongst a stellar group of individuals who are engaging Manitobans towards healthy, fair and sustainable food for all.”

Congratulations Fruit Share volunteers!  And, thank you to Fernando for nominating Fruit Share.

The award is an annual award put on by Food Matters Manitoba. If you want to join the celebration and learn about all the other great initiatives going on around Manitoba consider attending the Golden Carrot Award Ceremony.
