Giving to Shelter Nova Scotia

When Linda Wilson started helping precariously housed people, there were 17 identified by the Point-in Time Count. That number is now closer to 700. The Executive Director of Shelter Nova Scotia says the need has never been greater. And she says even though they receive government support, they still need to fundraise. They're doing that through several campaigns including their Holiday Wish List. It gives specific ideas about articles that are needed by people experiencing homelessness in Halifax. And she says they'll be kicking off the giving season Thursday, with a song written by Dave Carroll called Shelter from the Storm.
