You’ll help arrange tables, display groceries like a farmers market, distribute groceries to older adults, and assist with cleanup. Many older adults in the Tenderloin lack access to a nearby grocery store. This program helps provide fresh produce and proteins to 100 seniors each week.

This opportunity is every Thursday from 9:30 AM to 1 PM.

After an interactive session on food security and the impact of the volunteering experience, you’ll roll up your sleeves and get on the road. Led by the FoodFilled staff, you’ll have hands-on experience in rescuing surplus food from local retailers (such as supermarkets, bakeries, or cafes). Then, you’ll go on a supermarket scavenger hunt to calculate the cost of the food rescued. Finally, you’ll have the powerful opportunity to hand-deliver the rescued food straight to charities supporting local vulnerable people. All logistics and preparation will be organised by FoodFilled. To conclude, we will join back at the FF workspace to debrief, reflect, and recap the huge impact you’ve made.

Scheduling Flexibility: Shift time, duration, and quantity can be customised to fit your team’s availability, including options for concurrent shifts or longer day engagements for larger groups. The number of staff members engaging in this activity can vary too.

Opportunity Details

We are seeking cooperation from all logistics providers, both domestic and international, by land and sea. We are not seeking for individual volunteers.

By assisting with the transportation of donated food, volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring that essential supplies reach distribution centers and ultimately, those in need. Expanding food donation logistics strengthens Japan’s food security network and serves as a model for similar initiatives worldwide.

According to Statistics Canada, in spring 2024, nearly half (45%) of Canadians reported that rising prices were greatly affecting their ability to meet day-to-day expenses, 12 percentage points higher than what it was two years earlier (33%). Rising prices have a disproportionate impact on lower-income people in Canada. Rising prices are affecting the ability of Canadians to meet their day-to-day expenses, their concerns with housing affordability, the likelihood that they will obtain food or meals from community organizations, their financial stress, and the relationship between financial stress and quality of life. While food banks are facing an increased number of users, various shelters across cities do need help too with providing meals to its users. If you wish to volunteer your time to this program or gain volunteer hours, please email us at info@sewacanada.com.

Goal: Sewa Canada International has launched its 'Feed the Hungry in Canada' program in a few cities across Canada and aims to do more every month in more cities across Canada. The program involves providing:-

1. Hot meals prepared by our volunteers to the needy.
2. Dry food donations by our volunteers to the needy.

While most of the intended beneficiaries are the underprivileged and needy at shelters or missions in various cities, we will also attempt to address seniors in need or international students who may need help with dry food donations. So far we have provided this service in Toronto, London, Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver and aim to recruit new volunteers in other cities to carry out this service. We partner with other charities to deliver these meals.

A hot meal with fruit, bread, cookies/chips, its packaging and delivery can cost up to $5 per person. Please DONATE generously to help us feed the underprivileged in Canada. You may also direct your donations to a specific city of your choice by indicating the name of the city in the message field while making the donation. All donations are tax deductible in Canada. Tax receipts will be issued automatically.

Sewa is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and based in Markham, Ontario. Sewa's project locations include India, Canada, Nepal, Africa to other regions of the world.

We welcome volunteers to join us to work on themes such as social media, IT, web design, web maintenance, marketing, fundraising, corporate sponsorship, employee giving, events, data management, donor outreach etc. Sewa's approach is that our commitment to projects will be matched with set of strong financial and business control to assure that the money we invest ends up accomplishing our and donor’s intended goals. We follow strict financial control which in turn has helped us maintain close to 96% project efficiency ratio over the past few years.
