We're all coming together - apart - to help our neighbours and we need your help in supporting people in the greater community without a place to call home.

Hfx's shelter community, along with our municipal and provincial govts, the YMCA & Mobile Outreach’s Street Health, have been working to create safer spaces to provide our homeless clients, many of whom are at high risk of serious illness, required social distancing. #covid19ns
Last night, we collectively opened the first pop-up shelter at Needham Centre in Hfx. As we implement our pandemic plans to meet the state of emergency announced this morning, we will have many needs.

For the moment, we are asking the public to help us with the following:
- We have an immediate and large need for towels, juice boxes, individually-wrapped cereal bars and snacks
- We have a more modest need for blankets and pillows

These needs will change – and perhaps, grow – in the coming days but at this time, we’re asking anyone who is able to, to please drop off towels, juice boxes, individually-wrapped snacks and bedding to Needham Centre, 3372 Devonshire Avenue, Halifax.
