The months ahead are filled with opportunities to connect, celebrate, and support meaningful programs through the Northwood Foundation. From live music and community events to fundraising initiatives that directly support dignity and wellness programs, the Foundation’s 2026 lineup is focused on bringing people together while making a difference for older adults and the communities Northwood serves.

Last week, Northwood friends, residents, and supporters gathered for a celebratory luncheon at the Halifax Campus, where the Christina & Hedley G.

Halifax, NS — One month after the launch of The Dignity Rack, the Northwood Foundation and Mountain Warehouse are celebrating strong community response to the new partnership — an initiative that makes it easy for shoppers to give back while shopping local. Unveiled on October 18 at Mountain Warehouse’s Halifax and Dartmouth stores, The Dignity Rack invites customers to purchase small, essential items like socks, sweaters, and sunglasses for Northwood residents and clients.

For many Northwood seniors, comfort comes from small things — a soft sweater, a pair of warm socks, a little dignity in everyday life. Now, when you shop at Mountain Warehouse Halifax Shopping Centre or Dartmouth Crossing, you can help provide those comforts. Choose an item from The Dignity Rack and add it to your purchase. We’ll make sure it reaches a local senior who needs it most. Because dignity shouldn’t be a luxury.
