Volunteer with The Inn of The Good Shepherd

Every month, over 450 volunteers find a place in their schedule and a place in their heart to volunteer at The Inn. Whether it’s preparing a meal, helping to package or sort food, guiding clients or helping at a fundraiser – it’s a chance to reach out to the community and touch lives!

Help Wanted

Are you interested in helping others in our community?  At The Inn you can find rewarding volunteer roles suited for the time you have to give.  If you have a bit of time available and would like to volunteer, consider these opportunities that we are looking for:

Fundraising & Special Event Volunteers

  • We can always use an extra set of hands when organizing fundraisers and events.  If you are creative and have a flexible schedule, this would be a perfect fit for you!

Soup Kitchen Teams

  • Come together with your church, team or family, create and serve a meal to those in need in our community.

Food Bank Guides

  • Guides work one morning a week from 9:15am – 12:00pm; assisting clients in making food choices and recording ‘points’ spent as they select food.

Food Bank Registrars

  • This individual greets clients and prepares their paperwork for using the Food Bank.

Food Bank Sorters

  • This individual sorts food donations and repackages them for distribution.

Community Drivers

  • This individual picks up food and other donations for The Inn.

Sewing skills needed

  • We have on hand a number of donated winter coats that need minor repairs and zippers replaced.  A few minutes of sewing can help keep someone warm this winter.

If you or your group are interested in any of these roles please click the link above and submit an application.  If you have any questions or require further assistance, contact Lynn (ext. 310) at The Inn between 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday – Friday or by email at lynn@theinnsarnia.ca.
