"Simply by signing up for free recipe e-mails, internet users anywhere in the world can send 23 kilograms of fresh vegetables to the Winnipeg Harvest food bank. Local vegetable producer Peak of the Market launched an e-mail campaign Thursday in an internet-age way of shoring up support. For every person who signs up for Peak of the Market's recipe e-mails during the month of February, the company will donate 23 kilograms of Manitoba-grown vegetables to the food bank.

Harvest executive coordinator David Northcott said Peak of the Market held a similar campaign a couple of years ago, to much success: the food bank received more than 200,000 kilograms of vegetables that time."
