Providing Shelter
For The People of Dartmouth
Welcome to Dartmouth Shelter
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, organization that has been working hard at opening our first shelter location at SonLife Church at 152 Windmill Rd. Dartmouth.
We are open – And we need your help!
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 are a crowdfunded facility and still desperately require your assistance to keep us afloat until we receive HRM’s assistance.
Any donation amount would be appreciated to keep our doors open in the short term. To donate visit our GoFundMe Page
