Volunteer Day

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact in our community? The TMU Leadership team invites you to participate in this semester's Volunteer Day!

Volunteer Day is an opportunity for TMU students and staff to give back to our community. Our goal is to create a positive impact in the local community while fostering a spirit of volunteerism and social responsibility at TMU. 

On Volunteer Day, TMU students and staff come together to lend a helping hand to a local charity or non-profit organization.  Share your skills, passion, and time to create a brighter tomorrow for those who most need it.

Join us for a day of compassion and community as we prove that small acts of kindness can make a difference. Be a part of something bigger than yourself - because together, we can change lives.

Winter 2024 Volunteer Day will be taking place on April 1st,  April 2nd and April 3rd at Good Shepherd Toronto. Learn more about Good Shepherd below.

Good Shepherd Ministries, a prominent charitable organization based in Toronto, is pivotal in addressing the multifaceted challenges individuals grappling with homelessness and poverty face. At the heart of their mission is a commitment to providing immediate relief through shelter services, offering a safe haven for those in need. Beyond the provision of a bed and meals, the organization stands out for its comprehensive approach, incorporating addiction treatment programs to support individuals in overcoming substance abuse issues.

The organization's impact extends beyond the confines of its shelters, encompassing vital meal programs that aim to alleviate hunger and outreach initiatives to connect with individuals who may not access traditional services. Good Shepherd Ministries also actively engages in housing assistance programs, striving to find sustainable solutions to homelessness. This includes offering transitional housing, support in securing affordable housing, and collaboration with other agencies to address the diverse needs of the marginalized individuals they serve.

Good Shepherd Ministries extends its reach into the community as a catalyst for change through advocacy efforts and community engagement. By partnering with local businesses, volunteers, and other organizations, the charity fosters a support network, raising awareness and understanding of the complex issues surrounding homelessness. Their commitment to addressing systemic problems through advocacy adds a critical dimension to their work, aiming to create lasting change and improve the well-being of those they serve.
