It's been a busy year for Overnight Outreach. Thank you to the City of Fredericton and Government of Canada for their funding for last year. Thanks to donors who are allowing us to continue the program this year. We're currently seeking long-term funding partners.

This week, members of our Outreach Team visited Hanwell Park Academy and Nashwaaksis Middle School to thank students for their incredible fundraising for Coldest Night of the Year, and to share more about how the Outreach Team supports people experiencing homelessness.

Our Main Office and Marshall House will be closed to the public on Friday. All other locations remain open, and as always, essential services will continue uninterrupted. If you are a client with an appointment that has not been rescheduled, please plan to attend as usual.
