Volunteers are an essential part of everything we do at Frontlines. From preparing meals to supporting after-school programs, your time and energy help us serve our community in meaningful ways. We believe that everyone has something valuable to offer, and when you volunteer with us, you’re not just giving your time—you’re helping create a positive impact for children, youth, and families in our neighbourhood.

One of our largest weekly initiatives is our Thursday Grocery and Hot Meal Giveaway. Each week, we provide fresh groceries and hot, home-cooked meals to over 70 families in our community. Volunteers help with everything from unloading deliveries and sorting produce to preparing meals and handing out food with kindness and care. It’s a hands-on opportunity to make a difference, and every extra set of hands allows us to reach more people.

In addition to food support, we run a variety of after-school programs for children and youth, including homework help, creative arts, leadership training, and recreational activities. Volunteers can support our staff by engaging with youth, assisting with activities, or simply being a positive role model. Whether you have experience working with young people or are just eager to learn and help out, your presence matters.

We also welcome corporate groups and teams who are looking for meaningful volunteer opportunities. Volunteering at Frontlines is a great way to build team spirit while giving back to the community. No matter how you get involved, we’ll provide guidance and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

If you’re interested in volunteering—whether it’s for one day, every week, or as part of a group—please reach out. Contact us at keisha@frontlines.to and info@frontlines.to to learn more. We’d love to welcome you to the Frontlines family.

On the Frontlines of Crisis was an program enriching experience where I learned valuable skills that can be applied in the work place as well in our personal lives. The program was engaging and provided many different areas of training that have helped me grow professionally.
