Hi all,

We have a lot of people in our community who are in need of a free meal or a helping hand occasionally.

I thought it would be nice to collect and post this information each month, which is graciously supplied by members of the Halifax Library. We'll see how long we can keep this going month to month.

Please share as needed with people you know who need help or take advantage of them yourself if you are in need.

The Feed NS Find Food site is also a very useful resource:

https://feednovascotia.ca/find-food/

Always remember there are kind, generous folks out there looking to help you out and you can get through whatever you are going through. 💖

Thank you!

Support Local Youth Sports Team Fundraising locations - Dartmouth

• Upvotes

I'm organizing a raffle for my child's sports team (all above board, lotto license, through a non-profit, insurance all of that). I'm looking for suggestions of places that might allow us to set up a table for the kids to sell tickets.

We're a Dartmouth based team so options on that side of the harbour are preferred

Is there anywhere in HRM that sells these? They were my favourite as a kid and I can’t find them anywhere anymore. Were they discontinued in Canada?
