Hurricane Fiona
Glace Bay needs your help

Fiona hit Glace Bay with a devastating impact.  Homes destroyed, no power as trees and power lines blocked streets, food shortages and spoilage causing havoc on our community of 18,000 residents.  A State of Emergency was declared and the Military were called in to assist 

Glace Bay Food Bank, Town House, Undercurrent Youth Centre, Reserve Mines Seniors and the Salvation Army continue to work tirelessly feeding our residents and those most vulnerable in our community.  

Resources have been exhausted and now we need help.  Money raised will enable these community groups to continue providing food and meals to those impacted by Hurricane Fiona.

Your generosity will allow us help those impacted by this disaster.
