Volunteering

Volunteers are a vital part of the centre’s service to our clients. They perform duties in all aspects of the centre’s operation and are especially vital because the centre is a non-profit organization and has no regular income.

If you want to volunteer you can go to the centre and pick up a volunteer application kit or you can use the online application kit.

Donations

Financial Contributions

The majority of our financial support comes from individuals, churches, and companies who believe in the work of the PRC and that we are making a positive difference in Moncton and its surrounding areas.

Donations can be dropped off at the centre or called in. We accept cash, cheques, Visa, and MasterCard.

We also provide direct withdraw from bank accounts. We strongly encourage those wishing to make monthly contributions to the centre to use this method. The withdraw takes place each month until you tell us to stop. Using this method of donation allows us to budget the amount each month, letting us know that we have at least that amount to depend on. Forms can be picked up at the centre or, if you can’t make it in, we can mail the form to you. See our contact page for our mailing address.

All donations are receipted at year end.
