Minden Community Food Centre
The Minden Community Food Centre (www.mindenfoodbank.org), formerly the Minden Food Bank, was established in 1993. Since then we have served our community by providing food, cooking classes, clothing, toys, books, medical equipment, school supplies and other household goods for those who are in need. It is also a hub in Haliburton County for food distribution to other area food banks.
Pregnancy Care & Family Support Centre
The Pregnancy Care and Family Support Center (www.haliburtonpregnancycentre.ca) is a Christian organization affiliated with Pregnancy Care Canada. Our Centre meets our clients’ needs by coming alongside them and offering parenting programs, pregnancy tests, options education for those facing an unexpected pregnancy, infant supplies, post-abortion support, newborn to size 6 clothing as well as sexual health and pregnancy education. It has been our privilege to serve Haliburton County and beyond since 2006.
“[..]we saw God do amazing things. Campers asked deep questions about faith, sharing how God met them in their hurts and loneliness. Thirty-four of our campers gave their lives to Christ." -
Haliburton Highlands Youth Unlimited is a satellite of Kawartha Youth For Christ, working together with local residents, businesses, churches, schools and other organizations for the youth in our community.

Helping Those Abroad...
MARY LOU WUNKER
Supporting One Mission Society, World Vision and Samaritan's Purse Missions and Projects
MBC'S WORLD VISION HAITI
Mary Lou has a heart for Haiti and so do we.
MBC supports two children in Morne Pelee, Haiti, through World Vision. The community of Morne Pelee is home to more than 13,000 people, more than 40% of whom are under 18. Haiti is the most underdeveloped country in the Western Hemisphere. Like many rural communities, Morne Pelee has poor access to basic social services such as a safe drinking water, electricity, sanitation, recreation centers or vocational schools. The population depends mainly on agriculture, livestock and informal work, and most families are not able to meet their basic needs. Our sponsorship enables Loudjina and Evenaud to attend school, as well as supporting various community programs.
