Second Harvest is the largest food rescue organization in Canada and global thought leader on food recovery. We work across the supply chain from farm to retail to capture surplus food before it ends up in the landfill which negatively impacts our environment.
Last year, we recovered more than 22.3 million pounds of nutritious, unsold food — focusing on protein, dairy and produce — we rescued before it became waste and redistributed to a broad network of 2,300 social service organizations. Supported by hundreds of corporations, foundations, and the community at large, we rescue and redistribute enough food to provide over 62,000 meals a day in Canada. Since 1985 we have rescued and delivered more than 177 million pounds of food, preventing over 75 million pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents from entering our atmosphere.
VISION: No Waste. No Hunger.
We welcome new residents to the community with a package including a printed hyper-local community directory, coupons for local goods and services, a digital subscription to CommunityPins.com and other surprises. WE love community.

Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only 24/7 e-mental health service offering free, confidential support to young people in English and French.
We began in 1989 as a unique telephone counselling service, launched to provide free, accessible support to any young person reaching out from coast to coast to coast.
Our focus was supporting young people experiencing abuse, but almost immediately, young people let us know they needed more from the service than one focus and one way to reach us.
For over 30 years, we’ve evolved our response and offerings. We concentrate on staying relevant to youth, recognizing the complexity of issues they face, and we help to ensure our professional counsellors and volunteer crisis responders are ready to address young people’s continuum of emotional and mental health needs, from crisis situations to the everyday concerns of growing up.
It is our intent to stimulate interest and scholarship in the area of spirituality and social work through hosting conferences, encouraging research, and publishing quality articles and research papers by practitioners, students and academics.
The Halifax Community Chaplaincy Society walks with those who are transitioning from prison to community. With a team of committed and trained volunteers, we assist former offenders with re-integration, by focusing on support, accountability and healing. While many volunteers within the Chaplaincy Society approach this mission from a place of faith; we do this work with individuals of all faiths, or no faith. We assist former offenders who wish to establish, or re-establish, relationships with faith communities. We support former offenders in building responsible, constructive lives, thereby reducing recidivism and contributing to healthier, safer communities.
The 7th Step Society is first and foremost a peer support group. It is designed to help support formerly incarcerated individuals successfully transition out of institutions and into society at large. We do this by helping those formerly incarcerated change their self-identity, by changing their thoughts and behaviors so they no longer see themselves as criminals. New members can use the success of long-standing members as a model for their own recovery. Formerly incarcerated individuals who have adapted their behavior are a source of motivation for new members looking for inspiration. These older members illuminate a road to recovery.
A key difference of 7th Step from other peer support groups is the presence of volunteer members. The volunteer role is to assist formerly incarcerated individuals with their recovery and reintegration. This can be done in a variety of ways from informal problem solving, connection building and emotional support.

Sackville-Bedford Meals on Wheels was founded by two nursing students in 1986, who recognized a need for meal delivery in the area. With the help of community members, the first Board was established and the Royal Canadian Legion became the main sponsor.
Originally part of the Cobequid Multi-Service Centre, Sackville-Bedford Meals on Wheels now operates as a separate organization, serving Sackville Bedford and surrounding areas. While Halifax County Correctional Centre initially provided meals, restaurants, nursing homes, and individuals have also had the role of cook, with meals currently being made by a team at the Sackville Legion. Our main office is located at the Cobequid Health Center.
Over the years, many organizations have donated time, money, and resources to support Meals on Wheels. Many of our volunteers and staff have each dedicated more than a decade of their time and expertise to Meals on Wheels. However, fundraising to keep meal prices affordable remains a challenge.
