Hestia Says No To Used Goods While Transition House Says No To Used Beds

Used goods are no longer being accepted at Hestia House  in Saint John due to the recent out-break of bed bugs around the Province.

Director Elaine Northrup says  this is a direct hit to it's residents who are looking for clothing and furniture to set up an apartment with.
Northrup says the shelter has not been hit with bed-bugs and by putting this measure in place, they hope to keep it that way.

Meanwhile here at home The Executive Director Lynn Matheson of The Fundy Regional Transition house tells us they will not be accepting any donations of used beds at this time until spring although they welcome all other donations.
