The Good Neighbours' Club
The Good Neighbours' Club is a drop-in centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for men over fifty years of age who are living in poverty. The club provides members with low-cost meals, meals-on-wheels, social work services, basic health services, a housing worker, a concurrent disorders worker, a library with internet access, laundry, showers, mail services, telephones, and social and recreational activities. The club is funded by the City of Toronto, the United Way, the Province of Ontario through the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), and by private donations. It is located downtown, at Jarvis and Shuter Streets.
==History==
The Good Neighbours' Club was founded in 1933 by May Birchard (died July 30, 1968), a municipal politician and anti-poverty activist. Birchard intended the club to serve homeless and unemployed elderly men living in Toronto at the time, many of whom were veterans of the First World War. As a strong believer in the Canadian Social Gospel movement, Birchard was motivated by the Christian principle that "thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
