After a month of collecting food for Winnipeg Harvest the Dilawri Group delivered over 1,200 pounds of non-perishable food items. Over the last month Destination Mazda and every other store in the Dilawri Group filled a vehicle in their showroom with donations for Winnipeg Harvest collected from both staff members and customers.

On Monday December 19, 2011 the Dilawri Group’s very own Santa lead the convoy of vehicles to Winnipeg Harvest and dropped off the results of their hard work just in time for Christmas.

We’d like to thank everyone who participated in the Dilawri Feeds Winnipeg campaign. Next year let’s double the amount of food we raised.
