**** Media Release
It’s official – Out of the Cold will call 5853 College Street home for this winter season! Our doors will be open in early January, with the official date coming soon.
It was a true community effort to help us secure a location. We are humbled by the support we received and would like to acknowledge and thank our partners who helped make this happen, in particular: Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre, Adsum for Women & Children, and Nova Scotia Department of Community Services.
How are you feeling right now?

Somewhere in the middle — and that's okay.
We are now working hard to get the space ready to welcome guests in early January. Along with our opening date, we’ll also soon share a list of items we will need and some donation drop-off times. Stay tuned!
Thank you again to everyone for their support, kindness and patience. While we wish there was no need for a winter emergency shelter and that everyone had access to safe, affordable housing, we remain committed to being there for people in our community experiencing homelessness and precarious housing.
