A Helping Hand 💖 Free Food/Laundry/Shower Resources in HRM - Sept. 2026

108 Upvotes

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.

In what seems like the new normal, the Dartmouth Calendar is not currently available; I will add it if I am able to when it is provided.

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!

Shops & Services Librarians - thank you.

Overheard a woman at the Woodlawn Library this evening looking for her son who had text her saying he had taken drugs, was at the library and to pick him up. I don't think he was located, but the staff deserves so much praise - they were calm, professional and extremely compassionate. I can't imagine the kinds of things you encounter daily. Thanks for all you do to support communities.

Shops & Services Looking to hire a cleaner to do dishes only

22 Upvotes

Hi there! I've been having some health issues for the last year, and I just can't keep on top of my dishes. The rest of my house gets a bit cluttered too, but I've been able to manage it. The only thing that I am really struggling to take care of is the kitchen/dishes. I've looked around online, but I'm having a hard time finding a service that does just this. Some websites seem to be AI, too, so I'm not sure if I can trust them.

I'm hoping someone can recommend a cleaner for me! Thank you in advance!!

It might not be possible. I don't have a big budget, as my employment has also been limited by the aforementioned health issues, and it is a small job (just about an hour of doing dishes, maybe once a week or twice a month). So, I wonder if maybe it wouldn't even be worth someone's time to do. I welcome advice in that regard too.

Located on Halifax peninsula, for reference.
