Community Meal Service at Good Shepherd (Toronto)

✨ Community Meal Service at Good Shepherd Hi everyone, we have a meaningful opportunity to serve people experiencing homelessness and those at risk in our community, and we truly appreciate your participation. During our recent sessions, we served meals, chopped veggies, made sandwiches, and helped prepare pasta.

Only 6 spots are available, making this a special chance to be part of something impactful.

Register quickly And Easily on our website; only those who complete the one-time registration will be considered for the volunteer spots.

We'll need a few details- name, emergency contact, and a quick agreement checkbox- to keep everyone safe and coordinated.

• Register here: [https://torontojoy.org/register/](https://torontojoy.org/register/) • Once you're registered, go to our Events page, select the event on October 10th, and click "Register"; that's it. • Events page: [https://torontojoy.org/events/](https://torontojoy.org/events/)

Good to know:

• Closed-toe shoes are required. • Tie back long hair and wear minimal jewelry. • Water will be provided; please ask Reception for a bottle if you'd like one. • Please arrive between 1:30 PM and 1:40 PM so we can assign roles before we start. • If you can't make it due to an emergency, please message me as soon as possible 🙏

For each place we volunteer, we set up a WhatsApp group. On the day of coordination, if people are late or need directions, we can also provide updates. This makes communication easy, and you can ask questions/share feedback before or after the event. It was helpful during our last event, as we learned there was a festival, a street was closed, and we needed to detour.
