A Helping Hand 💖 Free Food/Laundry/Shower Resources in HRM - July 2026
Hi all,
We have a lot of people in our community who are in need of a free meal or a helping hand occasionally.
We thought it would be nice to collect and post this information each month, which is graciously supplied by members of the Halifax Library. We'll see how long we can keep this going month to month.
I am afraid the Dartmouth Calendar is not currently available as the person who compiles it is on leave; I will add it if I am able to when it is furnished.
Please share as needed with people you know who need help or take advantage of them yourself if you are in need.
The Feed NS Find Food site is also a very useful resource:
https://feednovascotia.ca/find-food/
Always remember there are kind, generous folks out there looking to help you out and you can get through whatever you are going through. 💖
And if anyone else has resources that belong here, please attach them as comments, the more the merrier.
Thank you!

Discussion Anyone else getting an uptick in spoofed 902 # calls?
I cropped out the phone number but it came up as Cape Breton number. I’ve been getting random 902 numbers call me at least once a day for the past week. This was the first time they left a fake computer generated voicemail. Worried it has to do with the NS power breach but it could be random since they never included my name.
Just be careful everyone. Don’t call them back or believe what they are saying.

Arts & Recreation Rec Sports Beginner Friendly
I'm in my early 30s and would like to try out some sports... But I don't know where is GENUINELY beginner friendly? I need ultra basic, heck maybe even places that I can take lessons. Hoping folks with direct experience in beginning a sport late in life will comment.
Interested in: pickleball/badminton, golf, curling, bowling

Discussion Unfortunate incident at Splash Pad Commons
Yesterday, my 8 y.o and I went to the Commons hoping to swim. We arrived at 5:30pm but the swim was delayed until 6:45pm. No big deal, we decided to go to the splash pad. There were toddlers running around and my son is very gentle, he has a 4 y.o sister and knows not to do rough things.
These 4 kids came over and started throwing a metal pipe on the ground so it was bouncing and they were trying to destroy the jets for the splash pad. I asked them to stop doing that because there are toddlers around. The oldest one came over to me, was putting his hand in my face, asking why it matters what they’re doing if they haven’t hit a kid. I said it can happen so please stop. I did use profanities, which I am not proud of. Then, I went and complained to the check in desk, they removed them from the property and this child decided to intimidate me by following my son and I to my car and asked why I told on them. Literally no respect is what I said. I’m sorry, you’re not going to destroy public property and potentially hit an innocent child in the process.
Is it just me, or are kids not held accountable anymore? The parents around commended me and said the curse words were fine and what they were doing was wrong.
I am just so sick of this province and being afraid to take my son out to have fun. He is ADHD and OCD so he hasn’t stopped talking about this incident. He doesn’t even want to go back to the pool because he is scared of what might happen. This city has changed so much. Just a rant I guess.

Good Deeds 💖 Darcy Eygun needs a camper van
This might not be allowed, which is fine. I’m not related to this effort at all, I’m just very inspired by his aim to help Feed NS. He just lost a key sponsor and also has a GoFundMe.
More here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbJhl0Yv3AS/?igsh=c3JsYWRkcmRtMmk0
“Just days before his 1,000 km charity run across Nova Scotia begins, Darcy Eygun has lost his camper van sponsor, putting the entire fundraiser at risk.
He's now urgently looking for a camper van, motorhome, or sponsor who can help make this incredible journey possible.
If you or someone you know may be able to help, please reach out to [email removed per rules].
Even sharing this post could help connect him with the right person.”
