Harvest House

Posted by Tristan Remple on May 1, 2024

Based in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Harvest House PEI serves people struggling with life issues from throughout the Island. The initial outreach was established by Cal Maskery of Harvest House Atlantic (Moncton) in 1998. Under the direction of Michelle Calder, then Noel Mal, and currently John Bennett, Harvest House Ministries PEI has been a viable catalyst for change in the hearts and lives of hundreds of Men, Women, and Youth. Our interest has always been focused on helping Islanders to transition from destructive lifestyles to a healthier and more productive life. Since 2013, we have been one of the original partners with the national Coldest Night of the Year WALK which has helped to raise millions of dollars for local outreaches and various non-profits across Canada -- like Harvest House PEI. With this added support, which involves annually almost 2000 Islanders, we have been able to continue to grow and expand our programs to reach more people in need. In 2021 we were able to re-open our Transitional Housing Unit in Charlottetown. Your support helps make the difference in the lives of Men, Women and Youth.
