Not with a snarl from those who are paid to be there.
Each bag is packed with healthy protein-rich ingredients including hot soup (made fresh every morning), a meat and cheese filled sandwich, yogurt, and a hard-boiled egg. Two fruits, a sweet, bottled water, and hot tea or coffee completes each meal. For many, this will be their primary and only meal of the day.

Murray and Edna Black, the founders of The Soup Kitchen, believed that no one in Victoria should go hungry and wanted to help those in need. The Blacks, who were parishioners at St. Andrew’s Cathedral, approached the Rector at that time about using their basement to serve a daily meal to hungry guests. Although the basement was only available in the morning, Murray and Edna believed that if just one meal a day was available, it should be a hot, hearty homemade soup filled with fresh vegetables and meat.

Murray and Edna’s soup kitchen opened on November 12, 1982, serving only 6 people the first day. The numbers quickly grew as those in need heard about the new meal service that operated Monday to Saturday between 9:00 am and 10:00 am. The Blacks did not just want to feed the hungry – they wanted diners to feel at home in a space meant especially for them – like a club, and so the 9-10 Club Serving Soup to the Hungry was born. It became a registered non-profit society, non-denominational charity, on June 21, 1988.
