Strong communities grow from strong roots.
The Alma-Westville Community Program was founded in August 2025 to meet an immediate need — and to build something lasting.
We connect neighbours across Pictou County with food, resources, education, and each other, so that support today becomes stability and opportunity tomorrow.
Nourish. Flourish. Empower.
Nourish
Providing essential food, care, and resources for vulnerable neighbours, ensuring every member of our community is supported and can focus on tomorrow.
Flourish
Supporting families and individuals with education, skill-building, and inclusive opportunities, so they can grow, succeed, and contribute fully to our community.
Empower
Building resilience and self-reliance by connecting people to the tools, knowledge, and networks they need, while fostering long-term solutions that enable all residents to move beyond crisis and live a life of dignity, wellbeing, and possibility.
Growing impact, together.
