In Uniacke Square, a public housing neighbourhood in Halifax, you’ll find a Salvation Army centre that doesn’t look much like a Salvation Army centre. Occupying three adjoining rowhouses, Open Arms Halifax is a place to belong, to receive support, and to experience the love of Jesus in practical ways.

Mitch Brouwer, the Open Arms program co-ordinator, talks about the centre's mission, and mom-of-three Kristina shares her family's experience with Open Arms.
