Purchase our 2023 Holiday Cookbook at all Red River Co-op Food Store locations- for just $5 each! One hundred percent of sales will be donated to Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba to raise money for their Child Life program, because spending the holidays in the hospital is tough, and we want to do everything we can to provide comfort to the 140,000 kids who need HSC each year.

Over 30 recipes are included, lovingly compiled by both the Foundation Families of CHFM and Red River Co-op Kids Club members. On pages throughout, you will find the unique stories of children and their families recounting their stays at Children's Hospital. For many, they continue to need care.

“We’re so grateful for Red River Co-op’s ongoing support and have loved working together to create the Kids’ Holiday Cookbook, which features many Foundation Families who rely on Children’s Hospital,” says Stefano Grande, President and CEO of Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. “We hope everyone who brings home a cookbook knows they’re making a difference for kids in their community who need treatment and care.”

"Red River Co-op is proud to partner with Children’s Hospital to support the important work they do everyday, bringing comfort to children and families who use their critical services in our community”, says Craig Gilpin, CEO of Red River Co-op.

We hope you enjoy this labor of love, and perhaps pick up a few extra copies as stocking stuffers for your loved ones. Cookbooks will remain available for purchase until quantities run out!

What is the Child Life program? Being a kid can be tough. Being a kid in hospital can be even tougher. Programs like Child Life bring joy and distraction, and make a hospital stay a little more comfortable for the 130,000 kids who need HSC Winnipeg Children’s Hospital each year. This program provides music therapy, CHTV, the library program, toy purchases and the playroom, allowing kids to just be kids.
