About this service
The Truro Homeless Outreach Society (THOS) is an incorporated, non-profit charity operating within the Town of Truro, Nova Scotia. THOS grew from the Out of the Cold program in Truro. Beginning in 2010, Out of the Cold operated out of local churches for 4 winters. The program was entirely volunteer-driven and ran from November 1 to March 31. Out of the Cold provided an evening meal, overnight shelter (on cots with mats), breakfast and when available, a bagged lunch. The doors to Out of the Cold opened at 8:00 pm and closed at 7:00 am. In January 2014, a small day time drop-in centre opened to provide Out of the Cold guests with a warm place to spend their days when required.
It became apparent to the Out of the Cold Coordinating Committee that although we were providing shelter during the coldest part of the year, our guests were literally turned out on April 1st to go back to a life living in parks and abandoned buildings until the program opened again the next November.
