Salvation Army emergency disaster services volunteers are braving the cold to provide warm meals, hot drinks and winter clothing for those who are struggling in Halifax.<\/p>\n

The Jack Frost Outreach Program takes place in downtown Halifax each Wednesday evening during the winter months. The service began more than 15 years ago and has become a staple in the community.<\/p>\n

But on January 29th, our team came with a little something extra in hand. Thanks to a generous donation from Bell Media<\/a>, volunteers were able to distribute toques to ensure everyone stays warm and to help start conversations about mental health on Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany who are struggling in our city also experience challenges with their mental health,\u201d says emergency disaster coordinator, Jan Keats. \u201cOur volunteers get to know the people who come to our truck on a regular basis. Many have shared their stories, but for others today creates an opportunity to open up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell Let\u2019s Talk Day<\/a> works to continue the conversation about mental health. The Salvation Army remains committed to addressing and supporting those who are struggling with mental health issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur dedicated volunteers are out there building relationships and getting to know people by name,\u201d Jan continues. \u201cJust lending a listening ear, to hear someone\u2019s story, makes a huge impact in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jack Frost Outreach Program is provided by The Salvation Army Centre of Hope in conjunction with The Salvation Army Sackville Church volunteers.<\/p>\n\n
