Started as a pilot project in January of 1998, Centre 7 is modelled on programs in Toronto and elsewhere. Centre 7's aim is to serve those whose low incomes discourage an active life but whose need for a meeting place with friends and a good hot meal is the same as others'. Through Out-of-the-Cold Saturday Suppers, Southminster United Church provides local outreach while living part of its mission to serve others and to stand with those who live on the margins of society.
Centre 7 is an ecumenical community outreach project jointly supported by Trinity Anglican, St. Matthew's Anglican and Southminster United churches. Each church contributes financial support and volunteers to run the program. Other churches in the area have also made both financial and volunteer contributions at various times.
A vegetarian option is provided each week. We are wheelchair accessible. Children are welcome.
