A New Home for Agape Table

Several years ago, out of concern and the rising challenges and demands for food assistance, Agape Table developed a plan for the future that would address the ever-increasing need in our community. 

A permanent home was envisioned, with an increased capacity to feed more people, with the potential to extend hours of operation, and to resume and expand support programs, which were cancelled due to space issues. These are the critical issues that Agape Table currently faces. 

In May 2022, Agape Table purchased the property and building adjacent to the Wave Church at 352-356 Furby Street. The plans are to build a 10,500 square foot building next to the existing brick building of 5,600 square feet, which is located at 356 Furby Street. 

Fundraising efforts to fund the $8 million Capital Campaign project began in December 2022, lead by a dedicated and committed Capital Campaign Fund Advisory committee. This committee is comprised of community volunteers and Agape Table staff.

On October 10th, 2024, we held a groundbreaking ceremony, with government officials, donors, Agape Table guests and Media. 



Accessibility for all - In keeping with Agape Table's mission of embracing a non-judgmental, unbiased and respectful attitude toward all who ask for help, Agape Table is excited to share that they achieved Pre-Construction approval level of RHF Accessibility Certified Gold under the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) program. AgapeTable is the first building and first Community Kitchen in Manitoba to achieve the prestigious pre-construction Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification Gold Standard.
