The Street Connection Mobile Soup
Kitchen provides food and clothing to low income families in the
Halifax Regional Municipality of Nova Scotia, Canada. The
majority of those we serve are children. Street Connection operates
under Bread of Life Ministries Association. The Association was
established in 1992 by former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Rob Pattison and his wife
Sandra. Motivated by their Christian faith, the Pattison's saw
a need to help people in the Halifax area. Bread of Life
Ministries is a registered non-profit, non-denominational, Christian
charitable organization. We do not receive government
support. We rely on donations from individuals, companies,
foundations, service organizations and churches.
Financial donations can be sent to
the address on the left. We issue tax receipts for donations
made in Canada. Cheques can be made payable to "Street
Connection" or "Bread of Life Ministries".

2011 Bluenose Marathon Scotiabank Group
Charity Challenge
Pictured with Rob Pattison (far left) and
Sandra Pattison (far right) are some of the members of the
"Street Connection" team in the 2011 Bluenose Marathon Charity
Challenge. The team members ran distances ranging from 5
kms to a half marathon and collected donations from sponsors.
With their help we were able to raise $6,186.00 to go
towards the purchase of fresh bread to be distributed to needy
families in the HRM through the Street Connection Mobile Soup
Kitchen. We hope to do the run again next year and add
even more runners to the team.
Thank You! to the following people
who were part of the team.
