Need Support this year?
If you are in need of support this year, please call (902) 453-4320 and we can direct you to other programs operating in the HRM.
How Do Donations Help?
Your donations are used to buy giftcards that are given to families in need - all of whom go through an intake process with our Social Worker. Households will receive gift cards valued between $100 and $300 depending on family size. Why giftcards? Parents are given the joy of shopping for their children and choosing a special gift for them.
