Outreach
The Roots House Youth Shelter offers drop-in services for youth 16-24 years of age from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. daily. Youth are welcome to and can access food, shower, toiletries, Wi-Fi, one-on-one staff support, referrals to community resources/ services, advocacy, harm reduction support, and education and employment support.
Roots for Youth also offers a "Community Cupboard," which is located at The Nest Administration Office on 342 Stewart Street (Unit # 5), New Glasgow, Nova Scotia and available during regular business hours (Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.). Youth 12-24 years of age, in need of this service, can access the Community Cupboard to pick-up food items, toiletries, and other personal items!
If you would like to donate items to the Community Cupboard, we welcome drop-offs at The Nest Administration Office (342 Stewart Street - Unit # 5, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, B2H 2R7). We accept non-perishables (e.g., canned and jarred items), bottled beverages, and boxed or packaged food/ snack items.
For any questions regarding the Community Cupboard, please phone (902) 695.3241 or email admin@pcrootsforyouth.ca.
