THE SOUL’S HARBOR RESCUE MISSION in Halifax currently provides lunch for 50-60 homeless individuals on weekdays Monday to Friday, but they lack the finances and volunteers to extend it into Saturday.  They have recently received a grant to build a new kitchen on their premises, and they would like to partner with Anglican churches in this region with the intention of providing a luncheon program on Saturdays. If you feel you would like to be part of this ministry in some way, please contact Rev. Marilyn for further information, 876-7300, mhamlin@eastlink.ca   Thank You
