Strong Fort Erie Neighbourhoods (SFEN) stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, deeply rooted in a call to service inspired by the transformative legacy of the pre-COVID Feeding Fort Erie faith communities food outreach model. SFEN has amplified this impact, but has also forged a dynamic coalition of local, Regional and Government organizations that identify as being able to support those facing additional challenges associated with living with low income, a disability, aging, or being a newcomer.
SFEN is celebrated as a powerful community-driven catalyst for change. Committed to building a healthier, more vibrant Greater Fort Erie, SFEN understands the power that collaboration at a grassroots level can have to support one neighbour at a time for the purposes of breaking the cycle of poverty. Join this mission serving hundreds of our neighbours from 310 Central Ave – St. Michael’s Parish Hall. Together, stronger!
