At J.D. Irving, Limited, we understand the importance of giving back - through charitable donations, sponsorships, and the many efforts of our dedicated employee volunteers. Below are four examples of the community projects JDI has been a part during the holiday season.

Stan Cassidy Tree Lighting

J.D. Irving, Limited was a platinum-level sponsor of the Stan Cassidy Foundation’s annual Light Up a Life event in Fredericton, NB.  The used medical equipment recycling program and the centre’s two volunteer programs, which support the Care & Comfort initiative and the patient family hostel Kiwanis House, all benefit from the fundraising program.

PALS Hampers

As part of the PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) program, JDI employees provided Christmas hampers for 28 families in need.  The baskets were filled with food items, including vegetables and turkeys, as well as small gifts and games.

Romero House Food Delivery

This December JDI delivered over $5,000 of food to Romero House, including fresh and frozen meat, dairy products, and canned and dry food. 

Sponsoring Symphony New Brunswick

J.D. Irving, Limited is proud to have sponsored Symphony New Brunswick’s Christmas Concerts in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John. 
 
The concert series, titled “An Early Christmas in New Brunswick”, was a tribute to the spirit of Christmases past, featuring Rothesay Contralto Heather Flemming and the Louisbourg Choir.

We are pleased to have supported the following events as well:

• 102nd Annual Empty Stocking Fund
• Kent Homes Elf Initiative Food Drive
• Majesta Santa Claus Parade in Moncton
• Irving Nature Park Tree Lighting at Woolostoq Park
