At the event on Saturday, December 2nd, 2023 from 1:15 to 3:15 pm at the Unitarian Hall, 595 Townsite Road, we will also launch a $150,000 fundraising campaign to help pay for essential capital repairs required to comply with provincial fire code regulations as well as other operational costs to ensure the comfort and well-being of our guests.

Enjoy cake, live music by singer/songwriter Tony Turner, tours of the shelter, testimonials from shelter staff and former shelter guests and light refreshments.  We hope to see you there.

Our Fellowship began in 1960.  In 2004, the Fellowship purchased a building, hired its first professional minister, and began weekly Sunday Services.  We currently have 73 members and 42 friends, and have an average of 63 attending Sunday Services.  

We are a dynamic congregation.  We operate the region’s only year-round low barrier homeless shelter, are a Welcoming Congregation, march in Nanaimo’s Pride Parade, and have an active environmental group.  During COVID restrictions, we immediately moved to a virtual environment and just as deftly pivoted to hybrid services when in-person services were allowed again.  The congregation has stable finances with outright ownership of its building, and income from a commercial tenant who rents space from us.

Various aspects of our Fellowship life can be gleaned from the results of a recent survey of our Fellowship found here:

For the past nine years, men and women have found overnight respite from the streets, a hot meal, clean clothes and a non-judgemental welcome at the
Nanaimo Unitarian Shelter at 595 Townsite Road, Nanaimo, BC.

 Were it not for support like this . . . we could not do the work we do. Very great thanks to the First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo who donated half their undesignated offerings collected over 3 months to MERS. Means all the more knowing just how hard this group is striving to make a difference for socio-environmental good. Thank you!
