The provincial government is continuing to support local organizations that help address food insecurity across Prince Edward Island.

The Community Food Fund provides grants ranging from $1000 to $10,000 to eligible community-based organizations to help stabilize the food supply for vulnerable PEI residents.

“Creating a stronger, healthier province starts with ensuring everyone has access to nutritious food. This fund supports the many dedicated community organizations leading this important work. We appreciate everything you do to help Islanders access the services they need to thrive and reach their full potential.”


- Minister of Social Development and Seniors Barb Ramsay
