Hunter River Helping Hand Program

 

    In December of 2024, after careful consideration, the decision was made to change how those experiencing food insecurity in the Hunter River area receive help.  In order to ensure that food is distributed in a more equitable and consistent manner the Hunter River Community Fridge has become the Hunter River Helping Hand Program.  This program is a monthly food pick up on the second Monday of each month for residents of Hunter River, Greenvale, Brookfield, Rennies Road, New Glasgow, Wheatley River, Hazel Grove, Fredericton and Darlington that register with the program.  Applying for help can feel difficult, but please know your application will be handled with compassion and confidentiality. 

   Registration for the program can be done Monday-Thursday between 9am and 2pm at the municipal office located in the Hunter River Community Centre at 19816 Route 2.  Proof of residence in the service area for each member of the household will be required at the time of registration.  Registered users will need to inform the office by the last Monday of each month if they will be requiring assistance the following month.  

  Food and monetary donations can be dropped off at the Hunter River Community Centre during regular office hours, Monday-Thursday between 9am and 2pm or during library hours Tuesday between 4pm and 8pm, Wednesdays 2pm-5pm or Friday and Saturday between 9am and 2pm. The municipal office can be contacted for further details or to answer questions you may have.
