Community Meal
Our Community Meal operates every Saturday 4pm - 6pm and is run almost entirely on volunteer power! We have “Kitchen” volunteers to help with food preparation earlier in the day, and our “Front of House” crew come in to serve the meals restaurant style.
If you would like to Volunteer or Sponsor a community meal please contact:
Erin Parkin /Community Meal Coordinator erin.parkin@salvationarmy.ca
Community Food Centre
A lot of work goes into running a Community Food Centre! Our volunteers are an invaluable part of our staff, helping unload our deliveries, stock the food room, packing and distributing the food to our members, as well as touching base and acting as receptionists for people seeking out information and contact.

Other Opportunities
With only five people on staff, we rely heavily on volunteers, who are involved in all our activities including cleaning and maintenance around the building. There are also various opportunities throughout the year to help on specific projects or during a “season,” such as our
Clean (property cleaning)
Summer Green Thumb Group (gardening)
Touch-Up Crew (building painting projects)
Kettle Campaign @ Christmas: Bell-Ringers
Christmas Day Meal - People (both, food prep leading up to Christmas, and ‘day-of’ volunteers).
