For the past number of years, our church has provided and delivered a meal to Hope Cottage, a drop-in shelter in Halifax.  Every two months, volunteers donate supplies or prepare a meal of sweet & sour meatballs which is a favourite with the patrons, they even call it “the Hope Cottage Special”!

To help with preparing the next meal, please call the CHWUC office.

If you haven’t made the meatballs before, here is the recipe:
