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.

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!
