Thrive Community Support Circle is a Winnipeg-based nonprofit organization that has been supporting people and families in our community for more than 50 years.
From our home at 555 Spence Street, we provide accessible, welcoming supports that meet people where they are and help build connection, stability and wellbeing.
Our services include family and parenting programs, licensed child care, early intervention, mental health and wellness supports, counselling, free food and clothing market, system navigation and advocacy, financial empowerment, cultural programming, and opportunities to connect.
At Thrive, we believe strong communities are built through relationships. We work alongside people, community partners and one another to create a place where people feel welcome, respected and connected to the support and resources they need.
