Donations can be dropped off until 4 p.m. Monday at the Souls Harbour Rescue Mission

As power outages approach the 48 hour mark, thawing food in freezers is becoming a concern.

If you don't want your food to go to waste, the Souls Harbour Rescue Mission says you can drop it off there.

"Our freezers are working and your donation won't go to waste," said the drop-in centre's founder Michelle Porter on Twitter. "Instead, it will feed hungry neighbours."

Donations can be dropped off until 4 p.m. Monday at 5568 Cunard Street.

All are welcome to pop by their location for a hot lunch from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., including coffee, tea and dessert.

Porter says they also have some outlets for anyone who needs to charge their phone.

The Halifax Chamber of Commerce is inviting people to pop by its office at 32 Akerley Blvd. Their boardroom is open from noon to 5 p.m. for anyone who needs to charge up, use Wi-Fi or get a coffee.

Haligonians can also head to the Dartmouth East Community Centre, Musquodoboit Lions Club, and Gaetz Brook Legion to charge phones or warm up.

And all open libraries have WiFi, heat, lights and something to read, however the Woodlawn Public Library is closed due to a power outage.
