Giving Time

If you are interested in volunteering, we use a program called Better Impact for volunteer scheduling and contact. This program allows us to email volunteers, schedule volunteer shifts, track volunteer hours, and add special volunteer events to our calendar. Once signed up for Better Impact, you will be able to sign up for volunteer shifts on the “Opportunity” page. This way we know how many volunteers to expect, and you are able to sign up for whatever shifts best suit your schedule. If you haven’t already signed up for Better Impact, please do so using the following link:

We were fortunate to have Leo and Johnathan for 4 weeks as part of their college of the Rockies work practicum. It was so wonderful having two incredibly dedicated and hard working students. We’re especially thankful for the new life they gave to our old worn out picnic tables!

Major props to the team over at Red Apple - Their recent food drive brought in 93.5kg of non-perishable food donations. We collected a truck bed full of coffee, gourmet snacks, tinned fruit, convenience meals and sides, amongst other tasty treats. These little extras really help lift spirits in harder times and really elevate the quality of the food hampers that we distribute.

If you're interested in learning about hosting a food drive for our food bank, our most-needed items, or other ways to support our work, get in touch! Our fundraising committee will be happy to chat.
