The Dartmouth Shelter Society was formed to address the lack of emergency shelter in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. We are a volunteer run, not for profit, and for the time being we have suspended all requests for volunteers as well as suspended all crowdfunding efforts for the immediate future. However once we have a solid plan in place we will be reaching out for assistance.
Thank you to all our supporters,
Warren Wesson
Our first shelter location, The Frank Mackay House is open at SonLife Church. Our facility has been running smoothly with the help of volunteers and with the financial help from you. Currently we have suspended all requests for volunteers as well as suspended all crowdfunding efforts for the immediate future. However once we have a solid plan in place we will be reaching out for assistance.
