Eleven years later…
Bob Nichols and George Conway showed up at Winnipeg Harvest early in 1999 to “see what they could do to help”. Eleven years and thousands of hours later, Bob and George are still at Winnipeg Harvest, doing what they can to help! They’ve made a significant contribution to the fabric of Winnipeg Harvest!
Nichols and Conway both bring years of business and volunteering experience to Winnipeg Harvest. This knowledge and dedication proves invaluable when equipping a not-for-profit warehouse and office. “We need…” and either Bob or George knows where to get it. To top it off, the item is usually donated or acquired at an affordable price.
Bob and George are known for their team spirit. You can find a listening ear; whether you’re the “Harvest Potato Man” or a new volunteer looking for the lunch room or the locker room. Big Bill, the Harvest Potato Man, found acceptance and a new place to live through the efforts of Bob and George. They became family for Bill, helping him to sort out the transition from the Occidental Hotel to an apartment with hot running water where he didn’t have to share his pumpkin pie with the cockroaches.
Many things have changed at Winnipeg Harvest over the years. Bob and George would probably say they’ve changed too, but their volunteer spirit and dedication to Harvest remains constant.
