How you can help support people impacted by the 2026 Manitoba floods

Those wishing to help are encouraged to donate to the 2026 Manitoba Floods Appeal to help the people and communities affected by floods in the province.

Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will be used to provide assistance to those impacted by the flooding in Manitoba with immediate and ongoing relief, recovery, and resilience efforts in response to the floods, as well as community preparedness and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events within Manitoba. Funds will also be used to support mobilization of response and community partners.

The Government of Manitoba and the Government of Canada will be matching eligible donations. That means for every dollar donated, three dollars will go to support those impacted by the flooding.

People who would like to make a donation to the 2026 Manitoba Floods Appeal can do so online or by calling 1-800-418-1111.

Emergencies affect our wellbeing and mental health, disrupting our routines and access to social support. Individuals, families, and communities can be impacted with little warning and recovery can seem overwhelming.

During a crisis, you may feel overwhelmed or find it difficult to get through the day. Many people experience this. Help is available. If you are feeling overwhelmed, contact your local health facility or a local crisis support line.

FRAUD ALERT: Unfortunately, there are some people who may try to take advantage of those impacted by a disaster through fraudulent tactics. The Canadian Red Cross communicates only via email, phone, or in person and would never send a link through a text message for a person to click on to receive funds. We will never ask for your social insurance number, bank account information, or credit card number during your registration or to receive assistance.
