Volunteering to Facilitate
Do you have a gift you'd love to share or a program you would love to help facilitate? Do you have your own programs that you think would be an asset to the community? In need of a space to be able to run that program, group or club?
We are always looking to partner with groups, services, and individuals to create new programming, expand programming, or give an already established program a place to host. We believe the best way for our initiatives to be successful is for the community to actively get involved. Volunteering is one of the simplest ways to help out our Hub. Get in touch with us to learn more!
Volunteering with the Community Market
Food insecurity in Edmonton has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The C5 agencies have responded by developing a Community Market for those struggling to feed their families, with funding from the Government of Canada, the Government of Alberta and the Edmonton Community Foundation.
The Community Market provides over 700 families with fresh fruit and vegetables, milk, bread and other pantry necessities every other week. Every week we hear form our community members how the Community Market helps relieve some of the stress created by the pandemic and economic slowdown.
