Since Joan's Table began in 2017, volunteers have now provided more than 20,000 individual servings to residents at Herring Cove Apartments alone. Every shared casserole, pot of soup, lasagna, rotisserie chicken and homemade dessert has become part of that extraordinary total.

The tenants at both Herring Cove Apartments and The Rebuilding have expressed how much they look forward to the meals that come from our Joan’s Table volunteers. Not only does food provide nourishment, but it provides moments for our tenants to connect with one another.

This summer, barbeque inspired meals have been popular with the tenants. If you would like to sign up to prepare a meal, visit joanstable.com.

Every meal makes a difference 🍽️💕

The Rebuilding is one of Shelter Nova Scotia’s supported housing facilities. The tenants who live there have experienced homelessness, faced barriers to maintaining stable housing, and require support services.

The team at The Rebuilding prioritizes things like social inclusion, skill-building, and opportunities for tenants to engage in meaningful activities. This summer, tenants have enjoyed a picnic at the Halifax Commons, visits to Point Pleasant Park, and barbecue-inspired meals. One tenant volunteered to plant and care for flowers at the front entrance of the building. The colourful garden has attracted compliments from neighbours passing by, but the greatest reward has been seeing the pride the tenant takes in caring for something beautiful.

These simple but powerful moments help tenants build confidence, improve well-being, and feel truly part of something larger.
