Making a difference in our communities.

Tracey Slipp and Les Jones have a shared passion for positively impacting their community. Drawn to the mission of Greener Village, a community-driven organization, they decided to lend their time and skills to support the fight against hunger and promote food security in the greater Fredericton area.

Greener Village’s Holistic Approach

Greener Village is not just a food bank but a comprehensive initiative addressing various aspects of community well-being. Volunteers run this organization and offer various services, including a food bank, community gardens, a learning kitchen, and a boutique that sells clothing and household items. They demonstrate their commitment to tackling hunger from multiple angles by providing diverse programs.

The Impact of Greener Village

Greener Village is an organization that distributes approximately $1.6 million worth of food annually. They leverage their size and unique position within the local food system to maximize the impact of donor contributions. For every dollar donated, they can purchase double the food, providing over 125,000 monthly meals to more than 1,900 families. One of their key features is customizing grocery boxes to accommodate dietary restrictions, ensuring inclusivity and dignity for all recipients.

“It was wonderful to see other organizations also volunteering their time as well. It was an eye opener to see the whole process of how they run this place and all the regular volunteers who help keep it running.”
