Every month, kids across Nova Scotia need our help.

This year, requests for our programs increased by up to 176%, more children and youth need support than ever before. A monthly gift of just $10 helps us say yes to a child who needs glasses, a spot on a sports team, or help keeping a roof over their head.

No big commitment. Just a little, every month, that adds up to something huge.

A recent CBC report found that more than 40,000 children in Nova Scotia are still living in households below the low-income threshold, and without major and sustained intervention, that number will remain in the tens of thousands.

At CAFNS, we work everyday to bridge that gap; funding recreation, healthcare, tutoring, housing support, and more for vulnerable children and youth across Nova Scotia.
