What we do
Programs that keep the lights on for our neighbours
Five core programs, one promise: no one in Harbourton faces a hard season alone.
Food Bank
Weekly grocery hampers with fresh produce, dairy, and pantry staples for households across Harbourton and the surrounding townships. No referral needed — just come in.
Community Meals
A hot, homemade supper every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Pier Street hall. Everyone eats together — volunteers, families, seniors, and anyone who wants company.
Youth Drop-In
A safe after-school space for grades 6–12 with snacks, homework help, games, and mentors who show up every week. Free, no sign-up, no pressure.
Seniors' Outreach
Friendly visits, grocery and prescription delivery, and rides to appointments for older neighbours living on their own. A weekly check-in call is often the highlight — ours included.
Christmas Hamper Program
Every December, volunteers pack and deliver full holiday hampers — a turkey or ham, fixings, and gifts for the kids — to more than 200 local households.

Three ways to be a neighbour
Harbourlight runs on local generosity — a few hours, a few dollars, or a partnership all go a long way.

Join the volunteer team →Donate
$25 fills a weekend hamper for a family of four. Monthly gifts keep the community kitchen stocked year-round, and every donation is receipted.
Give today →Partner
