Volunteers
Our work is made possible by a group of committed, motivated people who turn caring into action. We are incredibly grateful for their work and immensely proud of what they achieve. Take a look below to learn more about the people we work with.
Individual volunteers
Our amazing individual volunteers range in age from age 3-92 years old! 70% are volunteering in the homelessness sector for the first time. We have many different ways for you to get involved that are flexible and fun.
Schools
There are many ways that schools, CEGEPs and universities can engage with our work, depending on the aims of your community service program and age of your students. Events can include sandwich making, presentations and workshops, food drives, making art for our sandwich bags and collecting items for the Essentials Boxes. We aim for a fun, educational, impactful experience.
Workplaces and community groups
Workplace teams and community groups can support our work in many ways. Make a difference through sandwich making activities, hosting presentations and workshops, food drives and collecting items for the Essentials Boxes. We are also excited to hear your ideas on ways to get involved– as long as it aligns with our mission and values as well as our hygiene guidelines, we will try to make it work!
Out of Montreal Hubs
Are you located outside of Montreal but still want to get involved? It’s no problem! We have two Hubs, one in the West Island located at Cedar Park United Church in Pointe Claire and one at St Paul’s Anglican Church in Greenfield Park. Our Hubs provide a drop off location and sandwich making center making it possible for caring communities outside Montreal to get involved.
Organizations working with people who are currently or at risk of homelessness
We currently work closely with 17 organizations supporting people experiencing and at risk of homelessness in Greater Montreal.
Our donors
Please see our most recent Annual Report for a list of our incredible donors of money, items, time and expertise – private foundations, corporate donors, community groups and individual donors. Without their involvement, the consistent, reliable support that the organizations working with people experiencing and at risk of homelessness have come to trust and rely on would not be possible. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our work.
