Arthritis Society - PEI Division

Nonprofit

The Arthritis Society's mission is to provide leadership and funding in research, advocacy and solutions to improve the quality of life for the 6 million Canadians affected by arthritis. Arthritis is a chronic disease that has a devastating impact on the lives of about 27,000 Islanders (1 in 5 Islanders), making it Prince Edward Island's most common chronic health condition. The Arthritis Society empowers people to live their lives to the fullest by fighting the limitations that arthritis can impose on day-to-day life while at the same time, working for an ultimate cure. The PEI Division is the leading source of information for Islanders living with arthritis and their families, helping people learn more about their disease and to be better self-managers.

Gifts From The Heart Inc.

Nonprofit

Gifts From The Heart mandate is serving low-income island residents and those undergoing temporary hardships, for free through love and kindness. Whether it's families facing challenging times, seniors or children with food insecurities, or those facing addiction problems and those unhoused, we seek your support and contribution to make a significant difference. With rising food costs we do our best to make every dollar count. Currently, GFTH is serving over 2,000 families across PEI from our head office and we provide food, furniture, household items, personal items, and all their basic needs. We also have volunteer-manned community fridges in West Royalty, Brackley Point, and Stratford. The recent wave of new immigrants has put more pressure on our services as every day more and more families coming to Canada are requiring our services. Immigrants arriving with limited resources require assistance with basic needs. As a nonprofit organization, we rely heavily on the support of generous donors to continue our mission and expand our reach. With the support of our communities and the people of Prince Edward Island and others, we will be able to source healthier food options and be able to serve more families and communities throughout PEI. Funds will be used to purchase essential supplies, and overhead operating costs, support ongoing operations, and provide much-needed support to low-income residents. Your donations and contributions will directly benefit families and individuals across Prince Edward Island and help to keep our doors open.

HOPE EMPOWERS MINISTRY

Nonprofit

Hope Empowers began in 2022 by Patrick Ssenyonjo, who was a child from the slums. With 15 years' experience serving slum children through Raising Up Hope for Uganda, he saw a huge, unmet need to train older street boys with a skill - a 'last chance' opportunity to escape slum life. His vision was a 1-year program to get kids stabilized in a residential setting, teach a vocational skill and resettle them as productive members to their familial community. From here, Hope Empowers was born. Our community outreach quickly found a need to minister to unwed, pregnant girls. The Esuubi (Hope) Program started in August 2022
