Community Meal Service at Good Shepherd (Toronto)
Details
An opportunity to come together as a group to serve the homeless and those at risk.
As Toronto Joy continues to grow, we are beginning to move away from Meetup and will now be using our website as the main place to stay connected.
This will help us bring everything together in one place, making it easier to share upcoming volunteer opportunities, gatherings, events, and ways for more people to connect and be part of the community as Toronto Joy grows.
To stay updated and not miss upcoming volunteer opportunities, gatherings, events, and ways to connect, please register through the website:
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. If you sign up, please do so with the intention of attending, as the organization relies on our numbers for planning. We will send a reconfirmation message closer to the date, and if any spots become available, we will reach out to those on the waiting list.
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:

- Please arrive by 1:40 PM at the latest so we can plan who will be doing which roles and begin together.

Grateful to serve alongside you.
