Volunteering during the COVID-19 Pandemic:
We want to be respectful and mindful of the recommendations of the provincial government of staying home during this time. Having said that, we would still like to be able to serve people who are struggling with poverty and addiction. Therefore, please prayerfully consider if God would have you volunteer at Union Gospel Mission at this time. You must be in good health if you will be coming in to volunteer.
A couple of specific areas where we currently need volunteers are:
- Helping to prepare lunch on Wednesdays at our Family Life Centre in the morning
- Serving meals to the community at lunch and the evening soup line meal at our location on 320 Princess Street.

Below is a list of some of the volunteer opportunities for you as an individual, or for a group.
