Giving Back Is Part of Every Table We Set

Charity at the Heart of the Manitoba Restaurant & Foodservices Association

The Manitoba Restaurant & Foodservices Association (MRFA) believes that a strong hospitality industry is built not only on great food and service—but on giving back to the communities we serve. Charity isn’t an add-on to our work; it’s a core value woven into every event we host.

Our Commitment 

From large-scale industry galas to educational sessions and networking events, MRFA is committed to making a positive social impact. Each event is designed with a purpose beyond bringing people together—to support local causes, uplift communities, and create meaningful change across Manitoba.

How We Put Charity Into Action

• Integrated Fundraising: Charitable components such as donations, auctions, or partner spotlights are built directly into MRFA events.
• Community Partnerships: We collaborate with local charities and non-profits that align with our values and the needs of Manitobans.
• Industry-Led Impact: Our members—restaurants, foodservice operators, and suppliers—play an active role in supporting causes that matter to them and their communities.
• Purpose-Driven Participation: Attending an MRFA event means contributing to something bigger than the event itself.

Why It Matters

The hospitality industry is rooted in care, generosity, and connection. By embedding charity into every event, MRFA:

• Strengthens communities across Manitoba
• Encourages social responsibility within the industry
• Creates shared purpose among members and partners
• Ensures our success is measured not only by attendance—but by impact

Our Promise

When you attend, sponsor, or support an MRFA event, you’re not just investing in the future of Manitoba’s hospitality industry—you’re helping make a difference.

Together, we serve more than food. We serve our community.
