Make the time to volunteer...

At Ekklesia Inner City Ministries - Project417 we are pleased to offer you the opportunity to volunteer in a safe and supervised environment. Jesus said, "Whenever you did this for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did it for me". Volunteering to help the needy is, in a sense, an act of worship. I urge you to consider joining one of these programs soon - you'll have fun too! Check out some volunteer comments here

 

  • Sandwich Runs - Although the cold weather of winter is terribly hard for the homeless, they actually face greater risks in the summer heat through dehydration, heat stroke and severe sunburns. Come take a walk with us regardless of the season and join the over 1,000 volunteers who will help deliver bag lunches, water, clothing and personal hygeine kits to people living on the streets this year. Send an email to  sandwichrun@project417.com or call Andy at 416 937 6701. Also check out Ekklesia in Vancouver for their sandwich runs here.
  • Street Youth Craft Program - come help us make crafts with the street youth in downtown Toronto., or even just visit and hang out. We'll be making hemp bracelets, necklaces and other beaded jewelry crafts. We need donations of supplies and cash to purchase materials as well. Check back to this site for starting dates or send an email to   andyc@project417.com
  • Community Dinners - host them for us at your church and invite the needy in your own community (yes they are there - the hidden homeless) to be part of your church family. For more details on help with organizing one send an email to   volunteer@project417.com
