Volunteer Centre of Southeastern New Brunswick

Join Jennifer Bennett, CVA, VolunteerMatch’s Director of Education & Training, for an exciting new pilot program! The Learning Pathways include four educational mini-series that delve into essential tenets of volunteer management. They are designed to foster discussion, spark ideas, and provide attendees with an action plan for evaluating and innovating volunteer strategies.

Our onsite Nurse Practitioner sees many folks for sunburns during the summer months. Prevention and harm reduction is key! With your help, we will be able to provide the homeless population with sunscreen and therefore, reduce the risks that come with sunburns.

All donations can be dropped off at 80 Weldon Street, Moncton from Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm.

Here is a list of items in need: Portable crib, Baby car seat (newborn), Stroller (newborn)

Arlo Fisher was recognized as a Volunteer Driver with Urban Rural Rides from the Town of Riverview last evening – it was even more special as this was Riverview’s 50 Celebration Gala!   Arlo you make us proud – keep up the great volunteer effort!

The population of the area we cover in southeast New Brunswick is not dense. The organizations that eventually formed Urban/Rural Rides started as an initiative to help fill that gap primarily for the rural areas, because they don’t have any bus systems, the trains don’t stop in the rural areas, and they don’t have taxis. It leaves a vast portion of our population without transportation, so unless their neighbours drive them, or if a senior’s adult children take time off work to drive them, they are isolated. They’re cut off from services that they need.

Commencing 1st February, we have a new drop-in grief support group happening the first Wednesday of every month in Shediac Cape. The support group will begin at 2 pm. No appointment necessary.
