Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia has concrete examples of how we put your donations to work in Nova Scotia. We have accomplished tangible outcomes that you can see at work for yourself. You may even want to have a coffee or a bite to eat at Our Thyme Cafe. Below are examples of our biggest tangible accomplishments to date that we achieved with the donations raised.

In April of 2007 we purchased Holly House, located on 1 Tulip Street, Dartmouth, N.S. Holly House provides affordable housing for homeless women. Each Woman can stay up to 2 years, and during that time participate in a number of services aimed at helping her to become an independant, productive member of society.

Although huge strides were made to gather donations for Holly House, the Gottingen Office, and Our Thyme Cafe, none run or maintain themself. Our efforts to keep all of these very progressive accomplishments alive means our fundraising efforts are more important now than ever before. Please help keep these essential services alive by making a donation.

NOTE: All monetary donations are accompanied by the sending of receipt for tax purposes unless the donor requests otherwise. Additionally those donating a service that would otherwise have a professional fee attached can request a tax receipt in the amount the services would have been if not donated.
