THINKING OUT LOUD WITH SHELDON MacLEOD: Giving to Shelter Nova Scotia | SaltWire

Linda Wilson is the executive director of Shelter Nova Scotia.HALIFAX, N.S. — When Linda Wilson started helping precariously housed people, there were 17 identified by the Point-in Time Count. That number is now closer to 700. The executive director of Shelter Nova Scotia says the need has never been greater. And she says even though they receive government support, they still need to fundraise. They're doing that through several campaigns including their Holiday Wish List.
