The Heron Emergency Food Centre currently has 90 volunteers

 

In 2024, HEFC had 96 volunteers, representing a contribution of

9,325 hours of time 

 

HEFC could never meet the needs of the hungry in our community without the help of those who so generously donate their time every week, whether volunteering directly at the Centre, helping to collect, sort and package food, or working behind the scenes on the Board of Directors. 

How to Volunteer 

To volunteer at the Centre, send an email to our Executive Coordinator at info@hefc.ca, outlining the reasons why you want to volunteer and your availability. We will ask that you complete a Volunteer Application form.

 

To work at the Centre, you must be able to lift at least 10lbs. Our facility is very limited in space, and parts of our operation is in tight quarters.
 

Don't have time to volunteer at our Centre? How about organizing a fundraiser or food drive at your school or place of work? It doesn't take much to make a difference. Like to garden? How about sharing the fruits (or should we say vegetables?) of your labour by growing an extra row and bringing it in sometime?

Become a Board member - The HEFC is managed by a board of directors that meets monthly (10 times per year). We are always looking for enthusiastic people to serve on the board.​ If your skill set includes nutrition, planning, spreadsheet analysis, or technical abilities, we likely will have a role for you!
