alt The Mission & Outreach Committee took to the streets in June to serve coffee and snacks and strike up conversation with some folks on Gottingen Street in Halifax, including some experiencing poverty, food insecurity and homelessness.

Thanks to all who provided snacks and to all who took part in this great outreach opportunity.

United for Refugee Families

alt United for Refugee Families is a community-based team of United Churches that has worked to bring a Syrian refugee family to our community. In 2016-17, this group, which includes Hope United Church, sponsored Dalal & Jakar Alisso and their daughter Areen. Jakar arrived in Halifax in 2017. Thanks to all those at Hope UC who helped to fulfill a list of laundry room supplies and who helped organize and carry out Jakar's "move" into the apartment. If you are a member of Hope United and wish to donate, please make out a cheque to Hope United, indicate that it is for United for Refugees and give it to Sue Hawkes. She will ensure that you receive a charitable receipt. For more information please speak to Susan Hawkes, Geoff Lewis, Nancy Wells, or visit the United for Refugee Families Facebook Page. UPDATE May 2019: GREAT NEWS! Jakar’s wife and daughter arrived in Halifax on May 22nd for a joyous reunion -- Welcome to Canada!
