General Info

Hope Cottage was started by Fr. Joe Mills in July 1971. Fr. Mills, who was pastor of St. Patrick's at the time, noticed a growing number of homeless people, mostly men, knocking on his door for food and assistance. There were no soup kitchens in Halifax at the time that catered to the needs of people during the weekdays. Fr. Mills called a number of women asking them to prepare a meal which they would serve to the men. 34 people showed up on the first day.
