About the Organization

The PEI Farm Centre is a non-profit organization that exists to provide space and resources for urban and rural communities. The primary activities of the Centre have evolved over the past 50 years. What began as a facility offering office space to commodity groups and meeting rooms for community events has expanded to become a strategic food hub and therapeutic health centre. Our central location in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, includes a large facility and the largest urban food garden in Canada where people come together to learn, support, and promote the health and well-being of our communities by furthering a better understanding and exchange of views between agricultural, urban, and industrial groups and organizations.

In 2014, the Legacy Garden was created on the land immediately behind the Farm Centre. The Garden has grown to become one of the largest urban farms in Canada with over 200 community garden allotments that are rented to community members so they have gardening space to grow their own food, a community food forest and a goodwill garden from which we donate, on average, over 20,000 pounds of food each year to various charities in order to help alleviate food insecurity to the most vulnerable people in our society. We want to do our part to make the community of Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island a more welcoming, inclusive and well-fed place!

Come volunteer in our good will garden or in our therapeutic horticulture program!

Canadian Red Cross Emergency Management

The Canadian Red Crosses Emergency Management Program assists Islander's who are experiencing a crisis. Our Volunteers are requested to support at emergency sites by First Responders (Police, Fire, EMS, others) and we provide extended care for up to 72 hours. We ensure that all the basic necessities and needs are being met for those experiencing the emergency. This includes booking accommodations in the event of a serious flood or fire, accessing our budget to offer financial support in replacing lost or damaged clothes, providing funds for the purchase of groceries or other essentials, making referrals, and more. Training to be a Red Cross Emergency Responder is offered through the organization for free and must be completed before being put on rotation. This is a great opportunity for those who seek to make a direct impact in people's lives. Any interested in becoming a Red Cross Emergency Responder, or who would simply like more information, are encouraged to contact the Emergency Management Coordinator, Joseph Dery. Phone: 782-377-0144 or Email: joseph.dery@redcross.ca

HOPE EMPOWERS MINISTRY

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
