Featured Program: Youth and Homeless Meal Support
Where: Toronto, Canada
What we are doing: In Toronto, volunteers work with Youth Without Shelter (YWS) to cook and serve warm meals for the 60 youth living there. YWS is a charity that provides shelter and support for young people aged 16 to 24 who are experiencing homelessness.
Volunteers also work with homeless individuals at Good Shepherd Ministries, serving 60-70 meals weekly. The team comes together to cook, package, and deliver meals, ensuring that those in need have access to nourishing food.

Featured Program: Chez Doris Shelter Breakfast Program
Where: Montreal, Canada
What we are doing: The most cherished breakfast is the one prepared and served with love; that is our special ingredient.
For more than fifteen years, volunteers have served breakfast once or twice a month at the Chez Doris shelter. Chez Doris provides day and night shelter, food, clothing, healthcare services, and more for women in need. They employ social workers and are supported by a dedicated team of volunteers.
During the pandemic, volunteers served breakfast once or twice a month, considering nutritional needs and delivering meals in paper bags.
Currently, volunteers serve breakfast every two weeks regularly, along with snacks--bags of nuts and dried fruit--for weekend nights at one of the shelters. They typically serve between 35 and 60 women each time. In addition to food, volunteers sometimes bring clothing if Chez Doris is in need.
