Winnipeg Free Press: Annual awards celebrate volunteers’ commitment, passion

April 15, 2024 - The two friends will receive the Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Community Changemakers Award in recognition of the leadership they give to the meal and outreach team at Epiphany Lutheran Church in Fort Richmond.

Dikkema almost deleted the email notifying her about the award, because she didn’t recognize the sender.

“I was flabbergasted,” she says, describing how she felt when she read the email. “Now, I’m humbled.”

Twice a month, Dikkema, Willborn and their team deliver 75 meals to the Urban, a Lutheran ministry on Arlington Street.

“It feels like it’s time to give back in my life and this was a great place to do that,” Willborn says.

“I also feel that we’ve brought our church to a common purpose,” adds Dikkema, noting that the outreach team has the entire congregation’s support. “There’s a huge number of people in our congregation that volunteer in these various initiatives and there doesn’t seem to be hesitation to do that.”
