Homestead Co-op

At Homestead Co-op, we believe in Enhancing Community Life, and we're proud to support organizations making a difference in the communities we serve.

It was an honour to partner with Highway Community Kitchen throughout their recent BBQ fundraising efforts earlier this month. From start to finish, our team was committed to helping make the fundraiser a success.

We're grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Highway Community Kitchen as they continue their important work of providing meals and support to community members experiencing food insecurity. Together, we can create stronger, more caring communities.

Thank you, Highway Community Kitchen, for all that you do. ❤️💚

Brenna, Brett, and Shannon spent time today volunteering alongside Cathie with the Portage La Prairie Rotary Club, helping plant and beautify the Island Park Duck Pond.

We're proud to sponsor and care for Homestead Co-op's Community Cove, and this marks our fifth year of helping maintain this special space for everyone to enjoy. We'll be back later this month to lay fresh mulch and continue keeping the area welcoming and beautiful for the community.

If you're visiting Island Park this summer, be sure to stop by and enjoy the view at the Community Cove!
