about church control or anything like that. This is just about the organization doing its good work."

We're going to keep doing the good work, and I believe in the community and I believe in Fredericton, and I know that Fredericton will support us. - Alex Boyd, interim executive director of Greener Village

In early 2016, Boyd said, a select committee made up of Greener Village's board of directors and other members of the church was set up to update the board composition bylaw with the help of legal counsel.

Boyd said he isn't sure when the update will be done, but he's hopeful the result will be more non-church members on the board.

In the meantime, the organization plans to expand to help more people.

Boyd said Greener Village served more than3,000 people in September alone.

"There's no indication to me that we're going to close down the doors," he said. 'We're going to keep doing the good work, and I believe in the community and I believe in Fredericton, and I know that Fredericton will support us."

But some donors have lost faith.

Some donors stop giving

Since the food bank started more than 30 years ago, it has formed hundreds of partnerships within Fredericton.

For more than a decade Brendan Doyle, owner of Read's Newsstand & Cafe in Fredericton, has been donating hundreds of dollars to Greener Village. He said he donates because he wants to give back to his community and because there are people in his store who use Greener Village.
