Dal School of Nursing Semester 3 students have partnered with Mobile Outreach Street Health (MOSH) to fundraise on MOSH’s behalf.
Funds raised from the event will go towards winter essentials (quality heating pads, socks, gloves, etc.) which will then be distributed to the homeless population of Halifax.
This event provides student nurses of Dalhousie University with the opportunity to have a direct impact on the health of the Homeless Population of Halifax.
This fundraising event includes a wellness basket worth over $350 and a $100 pizza party at Freeman's Little New York (Quinpool). Multiple entries can be purchased and two will be drawn to receive prizes.

“This year DUNS has aimed to be more action and community based. This shows through our classwork, labs, clinicals and group activities. As future nurses we aim to not only serve our clients but to support and work alongside our communities. The fact that our semester 3 advanced standing class has taken the initiative, especially as new students to our school, is amazing and DUNS is so incredibly proud of our new friends and colleagues.” Haileigh MacLeod, DUNS President.
