A team of Winnipeg chefs and caterers have sprung into action to help feed Manitoba’s wildfire evacuees. The idea came together on Sunday when a local non-profit asked for help to provide homecooked meals for those forced from their homes. So far, the chefs are cooking for more than 1,200 evacuees in Winnipeg; however, more help is needed. “We’re doing a small portion…You think 1,250 people, but there’s 17,000 people (who evacuated),” said chef Allan Pineda. “That scale is crazy. I’m sure we need a lot of cooks, a lot of restaurants, a lot of donations, a lot of support, because there’s going to be more and more people coming to the city.” For those interested in helping wildfire evacuees, a list of resources can be found online.
