Former theatre building to offer support for those in need

KENTVILLE — A new drop-in centre for the homeless and people in crisis will soon open in downtown Kentville.

The Open Arms Drop-In Centre is expected to be ready early next week, offering needy people a warm place to go, a hot drink or bowl of soup.

"We have invited other groups, including local churches, to come in and try to keep the door open and keep the lights and coffee pot on so that people have a place to go," said John Andrew, pastor with the Open Arms ministry.

The drop-in centre, at the old Paramount theatre building on Main Street, will be open at least a couple of days a week, rotating with other programs like the local soup kitchen.
