Community Meal Service at Good Shepherd (Toronto)
Details
An opportunity to serve the homeless and those at risk as a group.
During our recent sessions, we served meals, chopped veggies, made sandwiches, and helped prepare pasta. Each session is similar; however, tasks may vary depending on the need at hand (e.g., sorting food). We had a great time serving together with lots of smiles and good energy.
Only 6 spots are available. Please RSVP only if you are sure you can attend. The organization counts on our confirmed number to plan for the day, so no-shows and last-minute cancellations create challenges for both the team and the service being provided.
When you arrive at Reception, the staff will guide you to the volunteer room, where you can place your belongings in a locker and meet the group.
Before attending, please review and complete the Toronto Joy waiver form:

Grateful to serve alongside you.
