Feeding Others of Dartmouth at Margaret’s House (F.O.O.D.) has been providing for Dartmouth residents for 30+ years and today serves approximately 3,400 meals each month. Our support comes in the form of donations made by corporate groups, local charities and individuals, Feed Nova Scotia, the Christian Relief & Development Coalition and the broader faith community. This generous assistance is the
cornerstone of our efforts, as are the tireless volunteers who bring it all together each day. HOW TO GET INVOLVED
