Community Groups Toronto

Community Meal Service at Good Shepherd (Toronto)

An opportunity to come together as a group to serve the homeless and those at risk. As Toronto Joy continues to grow, we are beginning to move away from Meetup and will now be using our website as the main place to stay connected. This will help us bring everything together in one place, making it easier to share upcoming volunteer opportunities, gatherings, events, and ways for more people to connect and be part of the community as Toronto Joy grows. **To stay updated and not miss upcoming volunteer opportunities, gatherings, events, and ways to connect, please register through the website:** [Toronto Joy](https://torontojoy.org?utm_source=chatgpt.com) During our recent sessions, we served meals, chopped veggies, made sandwiches, and helped prepare pasta. Each session is similar; however, tasks may vary depending on the need at hand (e.g., sorting food). *We had a great time serving together with lots of smiles and good energy.* **Only 6 spots are available. If you sign up, please do so with the intention of attending, as the organization relies on our numbers for planning.** We will send a reconfirmation message closer to the date, and if any spots become available, we will reach out to those on the waiting list. When you arrive at Reception, the staff will guide you to the volunteer room, where you can place your belongings in a locker and meet the group. **Before attending, please review and complete the Toronto Joy waiver form:** [https://forms.gle/1fsK9vYz6b6yDdeBA](https://forms.gle/1fsK9vYz6b6yDdeBA) **Below are simple guidelines from the Ministry on what to wear, safety, etc.:** [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1piAyloECv9YUDkPJuoJBdCmh3x8n1un1rGvJSFIkbs4/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1piAyloECv9YUDkPJuoJBdCmh3x8n1un1rGvJSFIkbs4/edit?usp=sharing) **Good to know:** * **Closed-toe shoes are required.** * Tie back long hair; minimal jewelry. * **Please arrive by *1:40 PM* at the latest** so we can plan who will be doing which roles and begin together. * If you can’t make it due to an emergency, please message me as soon as possible 🙏 Grateful to serve alongside you.

Telugu Community First Meet Up

The wait is finally over! It's time to have our first ever Telugu Meetup and we can't wait to see you all at Amsterdam BrewHouse to have an amazing time together! We thought it would be ideal to have a catchup in the downtown as our first meetup as this would allow everyone to socialise, network and get to know one another. Get to the venue between 6:30 and 7 PM. The evening will start off with a bit of an intro to each other. Most importantly, we would like to hear your ideas on the type of activities and events you'd like us to organise and the locations that may suit all of us. We can hang around and then head out for dinner if time permits. Please note that there is no entry fee for this event. Its just PYO (pay your own). Please do RSVP as that would help us make the bookings. Please feel free to message us if you have any questions. Let the fun begin! Cheers
