Southwinds Horse Rescue

Box 123 Oakville, Manitoba, R0H 0Y0 

(2 1/2 miles east of Oakville)

Our goal is to rescue and care for abused / neglected / abandoned horses. When horses are ready, we place them in a carefully-screened, loving adoptive home. When re-homing is not an option, we provide a long-term home for horses. 

We love horses and want to help neglected and abused horses see what a life with love and compassion is like!

Southwinds has reached maximum capacity for horses but with your help, we hope to care for more horses that need us. 

You can do your part by donating money, supplies or volunteering your time.

We are looking for volunteers to help with: hoof care, feeding, haying, mucking, cleaning, farm maintenance, watering, and grooming. We are also looking for individuals who have computer skills and fundraising experience, and riders to assist in retraining horses.

Our sponsorship program allows supporters to either sponsor one or several horses. We also need livestock related items and administrative supplies.

Southwinds Horse Rescue Inc. is a registered Canadian charity (Manitoba).

Toonies For Tummies

During February you can donate $2 in store at several supermarkets across Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. 100% of the funds collected will be donated to breakfast programs, which provide nutritious meals to children in schools.

The numbers are staggering.
One out of every six Canadian children goes to school hungry. Toonies For Tummies helps children who don’t have the “luxury” to start their day with breakfast by raising funds for Breakfast for Learning and the Breakfast Club of Canada.

And all it takes is $2 to make a difference.

• Watch the Little Change, Big Change video here and donate online.
• Donate $2 in-store during the campaign period.
• Start and keep the conversation going on Facebook and #Toonies4Tummies
• Share the campaign badge on Facebook and encourage others to donate.

The Grocery Foundation is an Ontario-based not-for-profit, established in 1979 to enrich the lives and well-being of children. 2014 marked their 35th Anniversary.

North Point Douglas Women's Centre    

We need some help! 

We are out of diapers. We especially need sizes 4, 5, and 6. 

We also need feminine supplies - pads and tampons, and pregnancy tests. 

Finally, we need help picking up supplies that we can pay for - someone who has a vehicle and can go purchase and bring back bulk items that we reimburse for.
If you are able to help with any of this, please email. Thank you!
