We’ve launched a new Community Care Facebook Group, a space designed to facilitate direct mutual aid within the community on Epekwitk!

We hope this will strengthen our community bonds & provide an accessible way for people to support one another. This is an open group to anyone living on the Island, please share & invite others you know to join!

Our statement to @InfoPEI on their response to hurricane Fiona and their preparedness for future disasters. Islanders deserve to know that their government will step up and keep them safe.

If you have a skill/artwork/music you want to share or a service you would like to offer, please let us know! There is always space for more community. ☺️
If you would like to donate, we will be accepting items at the market from 10am-1pm. Anything is welcome as long as it is not expired or broken! Please note that you do not need to donate anything to come enjoy the market. The more the merrier!
Join us on Sat, July 15th from 10am until 5pm for a pop up outdoor free market & community day.
We hope FreeCycle not only gives folks a chance at getting some items they need or want, but an opportunity to come together to meet and foster community. More details over on Insta!
Here’s our schedule for the free market in Rochford Square tomorrow! Feel free to stop by, grab some food, take in some music, sit in a workshop… No matter what, hopefully you’ll leave with something you didn’t have before!

UPDATE: Due to capacity, we are not providing food support at this time & are limiting our focus to Charlottetown at this time. We are trying to build community-generated supports & will be launching a facebook group where the community can all support one another.
If you are in need of food, here are a few available resources:
-Charlottetown Community Fridge (46 Valley St, 24/7)
-Salvation Army Food Bank (203 Fitzroy St, Tues & Thurs 9am-11:30am)
-Upper Room Food Bank (33 Belmont St, Mon, Wed, Fri 9am-11am)
