Prince Edward Island is continuing to support local organizations that help address food insecurity across the province, with the Community Food Fund providing grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 to eligible community-based organizations to help stabilize the food supply for vulnerable PEI residents.

The provincial government says the fund is open to groups delivering services including food banks, community fridges, food cupboards, food pantries and food hampers.

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
