Saint Vincent's is a 149 bed accredited nursing home close to the universities, hospitals and downtown. We have adopted the Resident and Family Centered Care approach that puts the resident and family members at the centre of everything we do. We are proud of our heritage that we have established since the home was built in 1966.

The Salvation Army Centre of hope is a non profit organization.  We help people within our community with various different things and needs.

 

The Salvation Army recognizes that poverty is a critical issue, and that everyone has a right to access basic necessities such as nutritious food, health care, education and economic opportunity.

The Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia works to improve the quality of life for those affected by schizophrenia and psychosis through education, support programs, influencing public policy, and encouraging research.

Scleroderma is a rare auto-immune disease that may cause hardening and tightening of the skin as well as damage to internal organs. Our organization seeks to increase awareness of the disease as well as to support those living with scleroderma in our region.

Scott Manor House is a registered provincial and municipal heritage property, owned by the Halifax Regional Municipality and managed by the Fort Sackville Foundation, a Bedford local-history group and registered charity.

It provides facilities and resources for research about the local area and its inhabitants, as well as a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of life. In the summer it operates as a museum and community hub, featuring a Tea Room for your further relaxation and enjoyment.

At Scouts Canada, our Mission is clear: to help develop well-rounded youth, better prepared for success in the world. We do this by enabling thousands of young Canadians to engage in safe, youth-led, adventurous programs in hundreds of communities across this great country.

As Volunteers and staff supporting these programs, our aim is to ensure Scouting remains vibrant and continues to expand its reach: providing more youth with an opportunity to learn and to experience things at Scouts that they cannot experience elsewhere.

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.
