Local music and information were both front and centre at the second annual Fruit Jam fundraising concert in support of the Altona Community Action Network!

Rhineland CARE is dedicated to helping seniors achieve a more independent lifestyle. Their team provides a wide range of personalized services tailored to the unique needs of each individual, committed to making a positive impact on the lives of seniors and their families and you can support them on Monday (May 12th) with their pulled pork fundraiser!

It's been many years in the making for Altona's Maxine Penner (Maxine Jade on-stage) when it comes to her debut album, titled "A Collection of Affection" it features many songs that started as poetry, which she later added music to, some songs that have been waiting to see the stage for years and some that are recent creations with the help of some musical friends.

Demand is higher than ever at food banks across Southern Manitoba, but a group of Altona churches have banded together the past couple years to help out the best they can! This year is no exception; they are gearing up yet again to go door to door and pick up your non-perishables tomorrow! (May 7th).

The music is flowing out of The Community Exchange (TCE) building in Altona these days, their concert series shows have seen great success and now, you're invited to another free evening of music at TCE, tonight (May 5th)!

Thanks to the support of some generous sponsors, Altona Minor Softball is thrilled to cut the ribbon Tuesday evening (May 6th) for Altona’s newest softball diamond ~ West Park School Northwest.

How the money will be utilized at The Gardens

Daizee Wiebe, Supportive Housing Coordinator at The Gardens on Tenth in Altona told us how the money from this Soup & Pie fundraiser will be put to work: "With the addition of assisted living suites, our meal program has expanded drastically. We are hoping to purchase new dining room tables and chairs for the apartments so that we can manage more seating for more tenants from the apartments and the manner who utilize our meal services."
