More ABOUT JIM
AGAPE TABLE
In 2015 PGA of Canada member, Jim Steep retired after 35 years at Glendale Golf & Country Club as the Head Professional and COO. Jim decided the next chapter of his life would be to continue to grow the game of golf through teaching, and in a bigger way, give back to his community.
While looking for an opportunity to give back, he found Agape Table, a charity in Winnipeg’s inner city. He applied to be on the board and was granted a seat, where he immediately started making a positive impact on the organization. Agape (meaning “unconditional love’) Table’s mission is; “Enhance the lives of those in need by welcoming everyone to our table without judgement or bias”.

This diverse group of people consists of over 70% indigenous, includes homeless, persons with disabilities, new Canadians, those with alcohol and drug addictions, mental health issues, low income seniors and families. Agape also partners and provides products and services to 40 other non-profit partners.
This non-profit charity and the work they do is exactly where Jim needed to spend his time going forward to help his community.
In February 2017 Jim accepted the position as co-chair of the operations committee. By July 2017 Jim was unanimously elected Chairman of the board of Agape Table. During this time, Jim lead an extensive search for a new home for Agape Table, as the building that hosted Agape Table for 29 years was being demolished for a housing project. After months of research and challenges trying to find the exact needs for a new facility in a convenient location for their guests, Jim found Agape Table a new home at “The Wave Church” and signed a 5 year lease. Finding this home took an enormous amount of creativity to check all of the boxes needed to move Agape forward and continue to serve their guests. Jim then used his innovation to complete the move by overseeing a 5 month construction period putting in a new kitchen, flooring and other amenities to help achieve the goals of this charity going forward. Moreover, Jim ensured that Agape’s daily breakfast was not disrupted and .
Jim served 18 months as chair, when the board of directors asked him to step down as chair and takeover as Executive Director.
