SPECIAL WORKS
Hand-in-Hand
Hope Cottage
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) is an international organization formed mainly of Catholic volunteers who seek personal and spiritual growth through service to those most in need.
Through personal contact, we assist those living in poverty with immediate needs while advocating for long-term sustainable change to help improve their lives.
Halifax Particular Council (HPC) coordinates the work of 18 conferences made up of volunteers from Catholic parishes in Halifax and surrounding areas as well as Amherst, Bridgewater, Springhill, Truro and Wolfville. HPC also operates two Special Works, Hope Cottage, which provides free meals to those in need, and our thrift store, Hand in Hand, which provides low and no-cost clothing and household goods to the community.
