so are we done?

Well thanks to money troubles and activist burnout HCAP no longer has an office....are we done yet? Are people still interested in doing the type of anti-poverty organizing, advocacy and direct action we were doing in the past? or is something different needed...............something more creative?....less radical? more radical? more grassroots? political? I am still available to take on individual cases and will wrap up what is left...............but really what is next?

Winter...and Homeless.

Winter...and Homeless.

The Out-of-the Cold Shelter is in big need of the items listed below. They'd really appreciate if any of you 'Santas' out there could donate the following items, although financial donations, no matter how small...$5 even, would be most helpful. Shelter supply needs are assessed weekly, then specific purchases are made. Tax receipts are provided for financial donations.

Maybe you have stuff you haven't worn in a while, or friends or family do, or, toss in a couple extra food items, listed below, in your basket at the supermarket. If you can get down to Barrington and Spring Garden Road to the Shelter at St. Matthew's ANY TIME over the holidays or when you're back in town at work, please do. The Shelter hours are between 8.15AM to 8PM, Monday to Sunday and you can call them at 225-1142 or email halifaxwintershelter@gmail
