We had our 9th successful Santa Under The Bridge project during the first week of December. We donated to many of the same places. Altogether, we have donated to eighteen organizations. All photos may be viewed at our websites, but here are a few highlights.
On Wednesday December 1, we did Supportive Housing For Young Mothers.
and we also did Caitlan's Place (which offers transitional housing and support to women and gender diverse persons who are currently in the criminal justice system). This was our first visit to Caitlan's Place but God willing it won't be our last.
We also visited Marguerite Centre for the 9th year in a row.
Thursday, we started our day at Feeding Others Of Dartmouth
and then we went up to North Dartmouth to Freedom Foundation
Thursday afternoon saw us at Welcome Housing & Support
We do 2 of their buildings, Stewart Place & Amethyst Apts.
We went back downtown for Among Friends Social Club
Friday morning we made a stop at Stepping Stone in Dartmouth
then, we did Brunswick Street Mission & Souls Harbour Mission
We don't usually deliver on the weekend, but Saturday we were at Alcare Place and Aerobics First for the Fit It Forward program.
Monday afternoon, we went to Laing House and Direction 180
Tuesday we delivered gifts to a friend we have who is connected to the Mik'maw Native Friendship Center.
And lastly, but only by chance, we finished off with Shelter Nova Scotia's facility in Herring Cove.
If you wish to support us in future projects, you may send a cheque or money order to our registered office at:
Last House on the Block Society.
You can also send an etransfer to lasthouseontheblock@outlook.com
That email is also the best way to contact us if you wish to donate yarn or other items or if you are a knitter looking for a way to give back at christmas or throughout the year.
A late entry: We made one final delivery to a new shelter sponsored by Bryony House.
