Make Poverty History Manitoba (MPHM)
MPHM is a multi-sector collaborative coalition committed to changing public policy to achieve a Manitoba without poverty. MPHM’s work is essential for us to better understand how poverty exists in Manitoba and how it relates to food security.
Visit the website of Make Poverty History Manitoba to access their comprehensive reports and campaigns, and to see how you can take action to help end poverty in Manitoba.

The PDFs below are two great resources for those looking for a starting point in identifying ways to improve food security:
- The key guiding document for the MPHM coalition provincially is The View From Here, published in 2015 by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternative (CCPA). Page 6 includes high level food security recommendations.
- MPHM’s 2018 report on poverty in Winnipeg. Pages 40 and 41 focus on the links between poverty and food insecurity in the city and include calls to action for the municipal government.
