Hope Mission Volunteer Opportunities

The Society of Vintage Characters continues to look for ways for members to volunteer within the community. We are currently working with Hope Mission on a new volunteer opportunity and will be running pilot events in December.

Following each of the events we will meet at Tim Horton’s for coffee and conversation with the volunteer members and evaluate learnings to determine whether or not these are programs that will continue into 2026.

We currently have two events planned.

Dates and Times

On December 1^st – from 10AM – 12:30PM at Hope Mission kitchens – we will be looking for 8 volunteers.

On December 11^th – from 10AM -12:30PM at the Girard Road facility – we will be looking for 10 volunteers to be involved in sandwich making.

There will be an opportunity for members to meet at Tim Hortons immediately following thesw events for coffee and a snack.

Please review the following if you would like to participate.

Hope Mission understands that their process takes a bit more time and paperwork, however since the majority of the volunteers are working in direct contact with vulnerable individuals, oftentimes in a shelter setting, they do need to take extra precautions to protect both the volunteers and those who are being served.

Waiver

You will be required to sign a waiver. Please review and be prepared to sign at the event.
