The Nourish Network
Food is at the heart of our communities. It’s how we celebrate, how we care for our families, and how we connect with one another. But sometimes, accessing healthy, affordable food can be a challenge. If you've ever worried about having enough food to make it to the end of the month, you're not alone. We can help: familyplace(at)eastlink.ca

Newborn Literacy Program
Books for Babies is a hospital based family literacy program for newborns and their parents/ caregivers living in Prince Edward Island. Parents are provided with literacy materials and referral information during their hospital stay after the birth of their newborn child. The program is designed to strengthen, promote and support family literacy; to support parents in their child’s early literacy and global development; to recognize and support parents as their child’s first and most important teacher; to build a foundation of positive attitudes towards literacy; and to make reading and books an integral part of the child’s life beginning at birth.
