This service takes a great deal of volunteer support, therefore our Food Bank is always in need of volunteers to help meet the need. Volunteers will help with a variety of tasks that may include setting up the packing area, filling bags for food delivery, putting away food donations, and breaking down boxes for recycling.

Volunteers are asked to dress in layers of comfy clothes that can get dirty. Work is done mostly outside, in any weather, and temperatures vary. Bring a water bottle and a face mask. Masks are required when working indoors and volunteers should be vaccinated against covid-19.

YWCA's Fill A Home with Hope provides the basics for families who have fled domestic violence and are in need of a fresh start.

We invite BMO to help outfit one apartment with kitchen items, bedroom decor, bath towels, cleaning supplies, and more. It's a project that can be done by one person, or a business. Imagine the joy when a struggling family - one that has survived abuse and left everything behind - arrives to a fully-furnished home!

Outfitting a 1-bedroom apartment cost about $1050; 2-bedroom about $1285; 3-bedroom about $1550; and 4-bedroom $1750.

An investment in our work means that when an unhoused woman walks through our doors - tired, out of options, maybe even out of hope - there is more than kind words waiting for her.

There is a plan. An advocate who listens. A path toward stability and safe housing.

We don't just offer temporary relief - we help her take back control of her future.

There are plenty of ways to get involved in the seminar! A group of 8-10 students is guided by a facilitator (21 years or older) and junior facilitator (18-21 year-old volunteer) through activities and small group discussions.
