About e4c:
Founded in 1970, e4c exists to limit, alleviate and ultimately eliminate poverty. As a registered charitable organization, we create opportunities for people to become self-supporting while contributing to the growth of inclusive, caring communities. E4c currently offers over 20 programs, impacting 16,000 people every year.

Operating in four quadrants of the city, our programs address the fundamental causes of vulnerability for children, youth, families, individuals and communities. They are focused in four main areas: Food Security, Education and Skill Development, Housing & Shelter and Community Connection.
