The Freeport Community Development Center (FCDA) is responsible for many projects that benefit the Islands and Digby Neck and region including Passages Newspaper, Anne’s community Solar greenhouse, the Fundy view Trail, the Freeport Ballfield the Lent House (which houses the Islands Museum and archives),as well as many past projects, including Breaking Waves Music Festival, Gallery 217, High Tides Gallery, the Islands Womens’ Center, road paving of Highway 217, finding healthcare workers, raising funds for community projects, receiving grants for infrastructure, and more. In past years the FCDA has found it difficult to find enough volunteers for our projects, and we have had to discontinue some as a result. Also, the increased costs of insurance, maintenance and upkeep of the buildings has forced the organization to look for new and interesting ways to raise funds so that we may continue the good work for our communities. We recently thought that a wonderful fundraiser would be to sell 50-50 tickets on Raffle Box once a month with all proceeds going to our operating costs, maintenance, and insurance costs, and upkeep of buildings.

Draws will take place once a month on the 15th of each month. We greatly appreciate your support with this fundraiser!! We really hope it’s going to be a great success!
