How to Help People in this Dangerously Cold Weather #Links

When the weather is dangerously cold, there are a number of charities who help people at risk. They are grateful for any support... 


👉 The John Howard Society of Southeastern NB has a mission to ELEVATE people, EMPOWER change, and ENRICH our community through a number of programs and services.

You can help them help others by donating COATS, HATS, MITTS, SCARVES, BOOTS, SOCKS, TOWELS & BLANKETS for those in need. Shelters are located at 55 Mark Ave and 473 St. George Street. Office location is 15 Flanders Court. Or donate online at https://johnhowardsenb.com/
