The Street Connection is a mobile soup kitchen that operates in four low income areas of the Halifax Regional Municipality of Nova Scotia, Canada. The bus stops at the corner of McIntosh St. and the 500 Block of Herring Cove Rd. on Mondays at 7 p.m., Bayers Road on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. , Mulgrave Park on Wednesdays at 7 p.m., and Greystone Drive in Spryfield on Thursdays at 7 p.m. We also deliver bread to Demetreous Lane in Dartmouth once a week. Volunteers on the bus distribute free children's clothing, food and bread to over two hundred men, women, and children each week. The majority of those coming to the bus are young children.
Each week people line up at the side of the bus where we distribute food from the kitchen area of the bus. The food includes sandwiches, bagels, bananas, yogurt, hot homemade vegetable soup and a drink (hot chocolate in the winter and juice in the summer). We also distribute 1 liter containers of frozen homemade soup for people to take home.
People in need of clothing for their children come in to the front section of the bus where a volunteer takes their order. We attempt to fill the order the following week from clothing stored at our clothing depot. The volunteers use clothing order forms to help speed up the order process.
People line up at the back of the bus to receive free loaves of fresh bread.
