Increased numbers push Nanaimo’s 7-10 Club to a financial edge
The 7-10 Club provides hot breakfasts and bagged lunches to poor and needy people in Nanaimo five days a week. The organization has weathered changes over the years and recently enhanced its services with the addition of a new kitchen.
Over the past months, the food service has made a number of appeals for funds from the community, as it deals with increasing demand for its meals. Now, the Club is concerned about recent changes to funding implemented by the provincial government.
We speak with 7-10 Club treasurer Jane Coupland.
