Itinerary:

The Holidays really are about giving and what better present than that of your time? We're going to be volunteering with the Yonge Street Mission. Thanks to Nick's good works and connections, there is another, earlier shift for volunteers to help out and spread some further peace and joy this year.

Duties for Volunteers:

Volunteers will be packing senior's boxes to be later distributed to and enjoyed by senior's over the holiday season.

We will meet at the centre. Our volunteer shift is booked from 1-4pm. Look for me outside the main door at 12:45pm.

Required Items to Bring:
Comfortable clothing to work in.
A bagged lunch, drink

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

By TTC (recommended mode): go to the College subway station and take the 506 Carlton streetcar east to Parliament Street. The streetcar will turn south at Parliament and you can exit at the first stop after the turn, which is Gerrard St E. Alternatively, you can exit at the Castlefrank subway station and take the 65 Parliament bus south to Gerrard. Taking the TTC is recommended due to limited parking options.

Limited Free Parking is available right beside our building on the west side – you must park parallel with the building or you may be ticketed. There is also limited parking available one block east at our Double Take store, 310 Gerrard St E (north side of Gerrard Street just east of Parliament Street). We will have a parking attendant at the lot so when you arrive tell the attendant that you are here to volunteer and they will try their best to accommodate your parking needs but we cannot guarantee parking spots for anyone.
