With the squeeze of inflation and the number of unhoused persons on the rise, Atlantic Canada is feeling the pressure at a higher rate than other Canadian regions. That’s why it’s more important than ever to do what you can to spread the holiday spirit.
Organizations across the HRM are coming together to bring donations to those who need it most and here is how you can help:
