Clark Family Foundation made to the Fredericton Community Kitchen. This photo is taken at the Kitchen located at 65 Brunswick Street in Fredericton.

“First, I just want to say thank you, the JT Clark Family Foundation, so very much for agreeing to do a matching campaign with us. We really appreciate the support, especially this year in light of the postal strike and how it has impacted our fundraising efforts. Our holiday mail-out usually brings in about $200,000 each year. This has been a big setback for us…

Now for the good news! We definitely met our goal of raising $10,000…. because the final number is in. Our community donated $81,210 yesterday!!!

We knew our donors would give, but we did not expect this kind of response. With your contribution, we will have almost raised $100,000 in just one day. That’s a pretty great Christmas gift. Thank you.

Best,
Cassandra LeBlanc
Executive Director
Fredericton Community Kitchens Inc.”
