7 - 10 Society - A Nanaimo Social Support

Gord Fuller, President/Chair 7 - 10 Club Society

Serving 85,000 Meals on a budget of $120,000

With an attitude of respect and service, the 7 - 10 Club has been providing a hot breakfast and bag lunch to all who need since 1985. A dedicated volunteer workforce of 30 people see to it that no one has to start the day hungry or go without lunch. The club also provides a place where people can socialize and support one another as they face a reality of the Nanaimo that many of us don't know.

Who are the people helped by Gord and his team of volunteers? Everyone across the spectrum, from some of the folk who look like life has not been too kind to, to your next door neighbour with their kids, who simply don't have enough money for food for the entire month after paying rent, bus passes, toiletries and all the other simple necessities, many of us just take for granted.

The club rents space from the city of Nanaimo at 285 Prideaux Street and survives on donations from very kind people and businesses. They have a monthly giving program and also gladly accept any donations you can afford. To make a donation you can visit their donation webpage HERE.

The only payroll the society has is for their cook and one part time employee. After those nominal wages and rent and utilities, the balance of every dollar donated goes directly to putting a hot breakfast and bag lunch in the hands of people who genuinely need your support. Sign up for the $20/month program and be assured your money will get a big bang for the buck!
