You can specify if you wish it to be used for a specific program such as Holidays, Wish Trees, School Supplies, etc. Cash donations may be placed in an envelope with the donor's full name and address on the outside of the envelope and taken to the back door on Thursdays between 9-10:30 and Fridays from 8:30-11 or 12:30-3. Cheques payable to Shumilacke Food Bank can be mailed to Shumilacke Food Bank P.O. Box 225 Shubenacadie, NS B0N 2H0. Please include the donor's full name and address. E-transfer to Co-Ordinator, Mairi Shears [email protected] In the message area, please write donor's full name and address. Tax receipts will be issued.

Non-perishable food donations are a great way to help. The Christmas Wish Trees will be going up later this month, and taking a star and buying a gift is another way. Clean water bottles with covers, egg cartons, or clean re-usable cloth grocery bags are always welcome. We are grateful and appreciative of any and all ways you choose to support us and your community.

Today, we’re turning back the clock and taking a look at the early days of the Shubenacadie Fire & Emergency Services and some of the men who proudly served their community.🚒

Long before the modern equipment, technology and emergency services we know today, local volunteer firefighters answered the call whenever their neighbours needed them. The Shubenacadie Fire Department has a long-standing tradition of community service, and has served the area for 60+ years of serving.

Pictured here are: Back row, left to right: Lowell Barr, Max Williams, Fred MacDonald, Claude Williams, Holmes Withrow, Harvey Williams and Wilfred Robinson. Front row, left to right: Norman Barr, Vic Tully, Win Rose and Harold Reid.

These photographs are more than just a look at the past, they help us remember the people who gave their time, energy and often put themselves in harm’s way to help protect their neighbours, friends, families and even folks that they didn’t know❤️🚒
