PAY IT FORWARD TO YOUR CITY NOW / WE GOT THIS



With the news coming down the line this week that we're seeing various industries moving back to stage two, this means loss of income, this means loss of employment, this means potential loss of businesses.


These are unfortunately the perfect ingredients to where hardships live.


You can judge a society simply by how they treat the most vulnerable.


If you have lots of time on your hands, here are some great ways to pay it forward and help those people in your community right now, there are several ways you can get involved…….


Volunteer Toronto, a nonprofit agency that supports nonprofits across the city, has set up a response team and invites people to join it. It essentially features an e-blast for anyone who signs up with volunteer opportunities. Learn more at info.volunteertoronto.ca/covid19.


CITY OF TORONTO

MEALS ON WHEELS

Meals on Wheels programs are provided by 19 different agencies across Toronto. There's always a need for volunteer drivers, and reports show there's been a spike in clients as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Here's a few of the agencies that run the service.

POVERTY AND HOMELESS SUPPORT


The problems of Toronto's poor or homeless populations have not gone away since the outbreak; in fact, they've become worse. You can make a positive difference for them by supporting the agencies that help them.


• Good Shepherd Ministries – The agency based at 412 Queen St. E. has had to change how it operates, including reducing hours and now providing meals to go in a bag. You can help by donating food (check their website for items most needed) or by donating financially (online donations are preferred).
