THANKS to the Kiwanis Club of Winnipeg, 50 children and youth from Rossbrook House went on an early December shopping trip to Toys R Us. They each had $50 to spend on toys for themselves or gifts for their siblings. Excited children were able to select whatever they wanted within their budget and had help from shopping buddies from Vincent Massey Key Club.
Rossbrook House staff and volunteers are grateful to the Kiwanis Club for this fun annual shopping trip! They also provide a pizza lunch at Rossbrook House to add to the day’s festivities.

50 Birthday Luncheon | Jan 20, 2026
No Child Alone Dinner | Thursday, April 30, 2026




























In 1976 Sister Geraldine MacNamara and a group of inner city young people created Rossbrook House, a neighbourhood drop-in centre with a simple mission: “No child who does not want to be alone, should ever have to be.”
