Clothing that protects from the elements is a basic human need.
This is especially true in winter, when an inability to keep warm puts stress on both physical and mental health.
Stress from cold can lead to hypothermia, pneumonia, and increase the risk of heart attacks by over 30%.
At Access Acupuncture, we’ve started a coat drive. We’re asking for donations of clean, useable winter coats. The coats will be given to Shelter Nova Scotia by November 7th, 2022, which they will then be able to distribute to people in need.
If you have old winter coats, help us put them to good use: drop them off at Access Acupuncture and help someone in need survive the winter!
