The Manitoba Association of Food Banks (MAFB) is the provincial member organization of Food Banks Canada for Manitoba. The Association came together to help member food banks achieve 4 goals; 1) feed people in need; 2) support one another; 3) assist clients one-on-one and 4) promote systemic change. The MAFB was founded in 2007 and supports the long standing tradition of sharing of food throughout the province.
