About Harvest House P.E.I.
Established in 1998, our mission has always been focused on helping Islanders to transition from destructive lifestyles to healthier and more productive futures.
Harvest House PEI's mission is to offer a variety of programs for men and women who struggle with addictions and unhealthy lifestyles by providing a holistic approach of help including life skills training, work ethics, education, and spiritual well being.
We envision a caring not-for-profit environment dedicated to restoring addicted persons to productive, contributing, and independent lifestyles.
Through Harvest House PEI in Charlottetown, our heart is to cultivate a street level link to help people in need of all faiths on Prince Edward Island.
New in 2020 and largely due to individuals who have participated in our annual PEI WALK by sponsoring a Walker, is the re-opening of our 6 bed transitional residence where we can build greater community and support.
