United Way Workplace Campaign
At Liberty, we proudly support the local United Way. Liberty is as generous as its employees in doubling each donation received. In 2023, our employees and Liberty donated more than $72,000 to benefit local United Way agencies! Our Saint John office reached 100% employee participation for the 13th year in a row! We are so proud of our employees and their commitment to our NB communities!
Why does Liberty support the United Way?
- One in four people use programs of United Way member agencies, such as the Boys and Girls Club, Ability New Brunswick, homeless shelters and your local food banks
- The money raised stays in our communities
United Way's Areas of Focus:
- Helping Kids Be All They Can Be
- Building Strong Communities
- Moving People from Poverty to Possibility

12 Neighbours
Helping 12 Neighbours One Box at a Time
Having safe, affordable, and permanent housing is one of the most basic human needs. 12 Neighbours helps provide that need, in addition to personal development supports, and employment to community members in Fredericton, NB.
But they can’t do it alone! Which is why a team of Liberty NB employees pitched in to help move printing supplies, equipment, and shelving from their former offsite print shop to their brand-new onsite center.
The team also got a tour of the new center, viewed one of the 96 tiny homes, and were the first "customers" to taste-test their delicious specialty coffee brewed at their café.
