Harbour Lights Campaign Announces New Partnership to Strengthen Local Giving
Saint John, NB — The Harbour Lights Campaign Inc., a registered charity dedicated to fighting hunger in Southwestern New Brunswick, is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with the Greater Saint John Community Foundation. This collaboration introduces the Harbour Lights Fund, a dedicated platform that will make your donations go further than ever before.
For nearly three decades, Harbour Lights has supported 16 local food banks, thanks to the generosity of donors. Now, by working with the Community Foundation, we’re ensuring that every dollar given has maximum impact.
Why This Change Matters
Lower Costs, Greater Impact: Reduced administrative fees mean more money goes directly to families in need.
Every Dollar Stays Local: Your contributions continue to support communities across Southwestern New Brunswick.
Stronger Together: This partnership amplifies the power of local giving and strengthens community connections.
“This partnership is about making generosity work harder for our community,” said Kelly Evans, President & CEO of the Greater Saint John Community Foundation. “By joining forces with Harbour Lights, we’re ensuring that we support a local charity whose goal is to ensure individuals and families have access to food during the toughest months of the year. It’s a powerful example of what collaboration can achieve.”
“Harbour Lights is now in its 28th year and has raised more than $4.2 million for food banks in our region,” said Paula Copeland, President of The Harbour Lights Campaign Inc. “This new partnership is an important evolution for a community-driven fundraising campaign. We’re excited to see how the collaboration continues to grow in the future.”
