With Your Help We've Made The Impossible, Possible! |
|
We did it, Winnipeg! We made the impossible, possible. Together, we made 1025 flowers blossom on the first day of Spring in Winnipeg. Together, we raised $20,475 for Habitat for Humanity so that they can put hard working, deserving families into safe, decent and affordable housing. That’s something we can all be proud of.
A special thanks to our Green Thumbs - the 26 community groups who made all those flowers. Your creativity, enthusiasm and use of hot glue guns is outstanding!
Thank you also to our Habitat Heroes - the 79 businesses and individuals who gave so generously to Habitat for Humanity - Winnipeg. Our major sponsors Lazer Grant and 6P Marketing really helped add to the total.
Another big thank you goes to our business friends who contributed their services when we needed them the most Big Daddy Tazz, Sierra Courier, ArtsJunktion, The Forks, Tomboy Tools, and Wallace & Wallace Fencing.
And finally, thank you to IBEX and the Herd for spearheading this campaign and being there every step of the way.
Plant it Forward was a huge success thanks to everyone involved. This campaign proves what an impact we can have when we work together on something positive for our community. |

About Plant It Forward
When we all work together we can make the impossible, possible. Together, we can create a beautiful field of flowers in Winnipeg on the first of spring. Together, we can help Habitat for Humanity ensure everyone has a decent place to live.
From January to March, community groups throughout Winnipeg are getting together to build flowers out of reclaimed, used, unwanted items. Download our Project Guidelines if you'd like some ideas. At the same time, businesses and individuals are being asked to support these volunteers’ hard work by donating to Habitat for Humanity.
On March 20th, the event will culminate with an outdoor display of all the flowers at the Historic Port at the Forks. This display will help draw attention to our cause, to the hard work of the community and to the financial support offered by Winnipeg businesses.

About Clean Your Green
Clean Your Green is an annual fundraising campaign that will help change the life of a hard-working and well-deserving Winnipeg family. It’ll change the way you see your city too. In the tenor of both civic pride and community involvement, the Clean Your Green campaign serves two distinct, yet complementary, purposes:
- To evoke a sense of civic pride by making our city beautiful.
- To help hard-working Winnipeg families share in the pride and prosperity of home ownership in our spirited and generous city.
"Because everyone deserves a decent place to live.”
