WAYS TO DONATE
.... A FRIEND TO LEAN ON… SINCE 1931

The Catholic Family Services Bureau of Prince Edward Island was established in 1931 as the first Social Service Agency in the province. Today, despite the idyllic nature of this Island, PEI families and individuals still often find themselves threatened by society’s pressures. For more than three quarters of a century, we have been there, a friend to lean on when those pressures become intolerable.

The mission of the Bureau is to strengthen and promote the quality of family life on PEI. This is carried out through professional counseling services for individuals, couples and families, and through family education programs and advocacy services. Fees for these services are charged on an “ability to pay” basis.

The Bureau has always been committed to providing services to those who are in need and in particular to those who would not otherwise be able to access them. As a result, fee recoveries don’t come close to covering the costs of our professional services. In fact, fees cover only 33% of the costs. To support these services to our community, the Bureau relies on significant external funding. Since traditional funding sources have declined by over 50% in recent years, we must rely increasingly on the generosity of concerned Islanders.

  HOW WE USE THE FUNDS

  • Funds support the delivery of counselling and family education services that benefit:
  • People facing short term crises that threaten or even destroy families
  • Individuals and families in crisis who lack a reliable support network to “lean on”
  • People of all beliefs and orientations: Bureau services are non-denominational
  • The Island community as a whole, since families in crisis affect those around them
  • Those facing turmoil, who by working through their issues, can become, or continue to be, functional and contributing members of society
