It takes a village. Be part of ours.

The CFRN is powered entirely by the generosity of our community. Whether you can give an hour, a bag of groceries or a donation, you help make sure no neighbour goes hungry.

Nova Scotia winters are long. Each year the CFRN gathers warm winter wear and makes it available to families in our community who need it.
