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:** [Toronto Joy](https://torontojoy.org?utm_source=chatgpt.com) 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:** [https://forms.gle/1fsK9vYz6b6yDdeBA](https://forms.gle/1fsK9vYz6b6yDdeBA) **Below are simple guidelines from the Ministry on what to wear, safety, etc.:** [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1piAyloECv9YUDkPJuoJBdCmh3x8n1un1rGvJSFIkbs4/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1piAyloECv9YUDkPJuoJBdCmh3x8n1un1rGvJSFIkbs4/edit?usp=sharing) **Good to know:** * **Closed-toe shoes are required.** * Tie back long hair; minimal jewelry. * **Please arrive by *1:40 PM* at the latest** so we can plan who will be doing which roles and begin together. * If you can’t make it due to an emergency, please message me as soon as possible 🙏 Grateful to serve alongside you.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
