Since losing its fixed service site, in 2022, for hot soup, porridge and a bag lunch, the Nanaimo 7-10 Club has been on the road.

Not only have we provided a six item bag meal; juice, sandwich, yogurt, granolla bar, fruit pouch n snack; we have also contracted to provide warming, cooling and extreme weather locations.

In 2023, while continuing our bag meals, the 7-10 was contracted by tge City to hand out a hot breakfast made by the Salvation Army 7 days per week. When that contract ran out the S/A continued to make a hot meal and the 7-10 continued to distribute on our own dimes.

While doing this the 7-10 Club has also distributed food and snack donations to other services in need.

Except when contracted by the City or BC Housing to provide Shelter thec7-10 Club is strictly a VOLUNTEER RUN AND OPERATED non-profit dependant on donations.

Google the attached; services across Canada are helping to provide sustenance to those in need; a need which is growing.

In addition to the bagged meals we also distribute donations of Starbucks Sandwiches and Snacks as well as donations from Save On Foods, Tim Hortons, Shoppers Drug Mart, KFC and others through Second Harvest such as the Nanaimo Convention Centre.
