N'Dinawemak - Our Relatives' Place

Good Morning, Looking for a way to help out a great community group?? Look no further!!!

Our community Care Team is gaining momentum!! At N'Dinawemak we believe that engaging homeless camps is best done on foot, making connections and friends along the way. Engagement is not about limited infrequent contacts but building relationships that encourage people in camps to connect to services. Our Community Care Team is led by Relatives. Some of our August statistics include: - We completed 12 walks in August - 8 new Relatives joined us on our walks - 8 new volunteers from outside agencies joined us - 200 volunteer hours in August - 9400 liters of garbage picked up - 640 needles, bubbles and pipes disposed of - 360 community connections made - 10 People (Relatives) who never heard of us but now they do!! photo used with permission. #volunteersareawesome #loveoneanother #doitonyourfeet

Our Community care Team is making a difference! Thanks to our friends Downtown Community Safety Partnership (DCSP) Winnipeg and Siloam Mission.

Proud to share the Province of Manitoba is making further investments into N'Dinawemak for the opening of a safe sobering centre!

The Community Care Team is unique among other volunteer-led foot patrols in Winnipeg, as our volunteer base is supported almost entirely by our relatives who stay at and/or access resources from N’dinawemak. The purpose of the Community Care Team is not only to engage our relatives who do not (regularly) use services at N’dinawemak, but of equal importance, is to foster a sense of purpose, belonging and community for our volunteers. We now have a small team of dedicated volunteers who come to nearly every patrol, rain or shine. These volunteers regularly contribute ideas; share their joy in seeing the difference made already in the community, and how they enjoy being part of something positive.

Volunteers make a world of difference!!!

N’Dinawemak is proud to share that this year we’ve been selected by #RunThePeg100 2024 as their host charity. The support of our community and the amazing volunteers in our city are what makes us great and the support of #runthepeg100 2024 is truly appreciated. They have started a Gofundme page so you can contribute!! Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 and you can help! Founded in 2022 by a group of passionate runners who would like to serve the community. #runthepeg100 is a fundraiser of running 100 km around Winnipeg in one day to raise awareness of the unsheltered neighbors. In 2022 & 2023 #runthepeg100 raised over $12k to support the unsheltered community. N’Dinawemak has amazing relatives who volunteer everyday to make our shelter a better place for all who visit. 100% of the donations will go towards supporting our relatives who give back daily. Our relatives will benefit with art supplies, drum kits, cultural outings and teachings and opportunities to work with our Community Care Team. Volunteering is the pathway to employment at N’Dinawemak and your donations will directly support those who need it most!! Check out the Eventbrite page here to join: https://lnkd.in/gedq_emV...

What a great day for Indigenous people in Canada and Manitoba!

This Saturday 12pm Winnipeg Manitoba. Our 3rd annual Unity Walk will take place starting from True North Square. The Unity Walk is a gathering of all of the community patrols and groups to gather in a show of solidarity and to show our city that there are hundreds of us who put on our boots regularly to help others. The Unity Walk is also a way to show that we need support! After years of volunteering I can tell you that it is really tough to get funding for people who walk around doing good. Even with international recognition, groups like Bear Clan still have to continually search for grants and other ways to get funds for staffing. Corporate partners have been awesome for supplies and donations but support is still needed for wages. See you Saturday! Volunteering might not change the world but you can change someone's day and if we change enough people's days then we can change the world. #volunteeringmakeschange. #Canadahelps #donate
