Santa Under The Bridge Part Two

Today we finished our deliveries for Santa Under The Bridge. The cover photo for this post was taken on Thursday December 7 at Scotiabank in Mic Mac Mall where our project received a donation of children's gifts.

Earlier in the week we had visited Laing House in downtown Halifax.

and Direction 180, a facility we have been visiting since the start of our project, in 2013.

On Wednesday, our elves stopped by the soup kitchen in downtown Dartmouth, Feeding Others Of Dartmouth, and brought a few sacks of goodies.

And also, on Thursday, after our trip to Scotiabank, we visited the Among Friends Social Club in Dartmouth.


Finally, on Friday, we finished our deliveries with a visit to Souls Harbour Rescue Mission, Stepping Stone community outreach, and Brunswick Street Mission.


All totaled, it was a fantastic week. Over a dozen volunteers got together and most of them wore Santa suits. As usual, the organizations we visited greeted us with the warmth and the laughter we have come to expect, and we are all blessed to have been a part of this.
