Volunteers needed at 1JustCity

1JustCity, West Broadway location is looking for volunteers for their Emergency Food program.

The program has undergone some significant changes, now running once weekly on Fridays, 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Participants of the program are welcomed into the meeting space for coffee and refreshments where they will meet with program volunteers who will discuss their needs. The aim of the program now is to provide wraparound support beyond food, and intended to build each participant's capacity in community resources, housing and food security options beyond those that 1JustCity provides.

Volunteers will sit and chat with the participant, provide food security resource lists, assist where needed in setting up appointments with Harvest Manitoba, assist the participant in choosing food items available, refer participants to the Housing Coordinator or Mentor as needed. Volunteers are also expected to assist setting up and cleaning up after the program is over.

The volunteer shift for this program is 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. or the shift may also be broken up: 10 a.m.-Noon and Noon-2 p.m.
