Our VisionEveryone in our community has the resources to thrive.Our MissionWe provide food, clothing and opportunities people need on their journey to self-sufficiency.About UsWe serve over 2,100 client families every month which is about 125,000 meals. We also customise grocery boxes as best we can depending on their dietary restrictions. 11-13% of our boxes are customised. 35% of our clients are children and youth, and 10% are seniors.The needs of this community are met through grocery boxes, the Learning Kitchen, training workshops and partnerships with over 35 community partners located in the Fredericton area.The Greener Village receives, purchases and distributes approximately $1.6 million worth of food each year. Because of our size, scale and unique position in the local food system, Greener Village has significantly greater buying power than can be achieved at the grocery store. We can purchase as much as $2 worth of food for every $1 donated, maximizing the impact of our donors’ generous contributions.While we continue to provide assistance to help address the immediate needs of the community, we also recognize that emergency food as a stand-alone is not a long-term solution.
