Summer 2020| Issue 1
What's happening this summer at WICM?

A modified Flora House summer program is up and running, following all Covid rules. Children are getting some academic upgrading with newly graduated teacher Jessica Steidl. In the afternoons they are learning to jig, learning about Aboriginal traditional teachings and are going on super fun outings! In the afternoons Jessica is working with young adults who have not completed school and who desire to upgrade their knowledge!
We are so EXCITED! We heard a new bus is heading our way...but you'll have to wait until our next newsletter for details!
Would you believe the air conditioner was stolen off the wall at Flora House? Thanks to the Presbyterian Church in Canada's Chisholm Fund, we now have a new unit. Thank goodness, it is hot here in Manitoba!
Feeding of the 4000
During the Covid pandemic, WICM was able to provide 4000 individual meals to 100 persons, from 54 families.

Homemade soups, stews, casseroles, salads and desserts were appreciated.
Thank you to The Winnipeg Foundation, The Presbyterian Church in Canada and many individuals for your contributions enabling us to purchase additional food. And thank you to Winnipeg Harvest for providing food to supplement the hampers even more.

A huge hug goes out to everyone who donated, cooked, baked, delivered, prayed!

Murals on Flora House garage beautify the neighborhood!
Through grants from the St. James Legacy fund and from the Presbyterian Church in Canada's Special Projects fund we bring you these fantastic murals.

They adorn the walls of the Flora House garage, in a neighborhood riddled with violence, gangs, drugs and sexual exploitation.

We bring hope, love, beauty and a place of respite and safety for the children in the neighborhood!
