Adsum for Women & Children provides safe shelter, housing, services and supports to female youth from age 16, women and children who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  
If you need immediate assistance, please call  423-4443 or 429-4443.

On June 18, Ann Swain, Steve Rankin, Catherine Shortt and Kim Ottenbrite from Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline came by to paint the kitchen at the shelter, Adsum House.  They did a fabulous job.  Many thanks folks! 
This almost completes work on the kitchen, which has been dramatically remodelled over the last six months.

The Gelatinous Dudes raised $700 by playing their third annual marathon for charity in mid June.  They gamed in a straight 24-hour stretch to support Adsum. 

The Gelatinous Dudes are a group of Halifax tabletop gaming enthusiasts who also share a passion to be a positive force in their community.  They are great friends of Adsum.
