About

Military life can be complex and present unexpected challenges. As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated, life can sometimes be anything but predictable. The Trenton MFRC has adapted and successfully responded to the needs of military families. However, none of this would be possible without the support of you.

The Trenton MFRC serves over 10,000 military members and dependents living in the Quinte region. Every year, military members and their families use the resources offered by the Trenton MFRC. We are a registered charity that relies on community support to promote and facilitate programming and services to enrich, strengthen and enhance the quality of life for our military families.
