Our Community’s Challenges

The Greater Fredericton region faces growing needs—from food insecurity and housing shortages to environmental and mental health challenges. While 1 in 5 households struggle with access to food, and affordable housing is in decline, our community is stepping up.

 

Local charities are rising to the occasion, and with your help, we’re making meaningful progress. In just the past four years, over $4.5 million has been invested in local initiatives addressing these urgent needs, and we’re committed to doing even more.
