What is the Dump and Run?

The Halifax Dump and Run is Halifax’s largest community garage sale! Our goal is to divert waste from local landfills by collecting items people no longer have use for and selling them (discounted) at a gymnasium-sized indoor yard sale in order to raise money for charitable organizations. Last year over $13,000 was raised for charities throughout Nova Scotia.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
