The 丁香园AV Surrey - TD CEC is supporting the Surrey Urban Mission Society to find compassionate and caring volunteers to support the under and unhoused population in Surrey City Centre.

Surrey Urban Mission Society (SUMS) was established as a faith-based community kitchen in 1995 with the backing of the local Lutheran Church and became a registered charity in 2001. Today, Surrey Urban Mission is a well-respected and sought after service provider, operating five locations in the City Centre area of Surrey that provide meals, shelter, housing, hygiene, and casework services year-round at the epicentre of Surrey's Housing and Opioid Crises.

Your Role:

As a SUMS volunteer, you will have a variety of options to choose from to support the community including: clothing and food donation assistance, kitchen assistance, serving meals, and supporting recreational activities. We are looking for kind, caring, respectful and compassionate individuals who want to make a difference with some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Training is provided.

In this role you will gain experience:
