Out of the Cold Program - HOMELESS SHELTER at TUC
Again this year, from January 14, 2011 for 10 Fridays, we hosted an overnight Homeless Shelter in the basement of Thornhill United Church. For many years a stalwart group from TUC, Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill Baptist Church and the wider community have provided food and warmth for the homeless, disadvantaged and lost. Our shelter is one of five running in South York Region under the auspices of Mosaic Interfaith Out of the Cold.
We are always looking for more volunteers. For those who do not wish to attend the Shelter, there is a need for clothes sorting, sandwich-making and food shopping. At the Shelter there is a wide variety of tasks in the four shifts between 3 pm on Friday and 8 am on Saturday. Try volunteering for one Friday....see how it works. Personal time restrictions can be accomomodated.
