Help Maura raise money

For participating in Blue Nose Marathon

My Story…

At Halifax Public Libraries, people are at the heart of all we do. Through our 14 branches, Halifax Public Libraries is proud to offer Halifax residents a collection of nearly 1 million items and a wide range of programs and services for everyone. By building on our commitment to access, diversity, service, and technology, Halifax Public Libraries attracts more than 3.6 million in-person visits each year. Our Library. Your Library. #MyLibrary. Just like runners need proper food, so does everyone in our community—2020 Runners will be raising money to ensure food and food programming is available in all branches for those who need it. Please give generously today. Thank you.

Description

In our community, no one should be hungry. When you think of a public library, historically a book-filled space where food was banned, do you imagine a partner in the fight against food insecurity? 1 in 5 people do not have access to affordable, healthy food. Halifax Public Libraries now offers free food literacy programs that build knowledge and skills in areas such as growing, cooking, nutrition and local choices. Runners will support more than 400 food literacy programs and healthy snacks in our community.
