As we face challenging times, the need for community support is more crucial than ever. We are excited to announce a new initiative together with Harvest Project, which aims to address food emergencies in the North Shore and is set to start on February 14th, Wednesday at 2 p.m.

We are reaching out to our community members because we believe your compassion and dedication can make a significant impact.

Our Food Emergency Program is designed to provide immediate assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity on the North Shore, provide essential sustenance, as well as cultivate a sense of belonging and shared responsibility within our community. At the core of our Food Emergency Initiative is a simple yet powerful idea: neighbours helping neighbours.

 

How Can You Help?

We are seeking passionate and committed volunteers to join us in various roles, including but not limited to:

Food Distribution: Assist in handing out emergency groceries to our guests.

Receptionist: To welcome and check guests in.

Ushers: To welcome guests, lead them in the right direction, and converse with them.

Coffee and Team Lead: To prepare coffee, and tea for our guests.

How to Get Involved:
