There are 140 neighbourhoods in Toronto. We are looking for Community Captains and multiple Volunteers for each one of them.
Community Captain or Co-Captains (now until event day)
You will be the main point of contact for your neighbourhood and lead a team of volunteers to pick-up all registered food donations within your neighbourhood boundaries on event day.
No need to go at this alone! Feel free to recruit a Co-Captain to help you organize. Maybe a neighbour, friend or family member?
The Toronto Miracle team will:
Pre-event day duties include:
Option 1: Join Toronto Miracle’s existing partners (Daily Bread Food Bank, Second Harvest, North York Harvest Food Bank). If you decide to go with this option, you do not need to organize anything – the Toronto Miracle team will share the closest drop off location details with you.
Option 2: Partner with a local food organization(s) of your choice. For this option, you will need to connect with and arrange drop off of the food picked up from your neighbourhood and you will need to count the number of pieces of food you collect.
Option 3: Partner with both!
Event day duties include:
Volunteers (event day)
You will be part of the action on event day! Food pick up will begin at 10:00am and depending on your role, the day will run until all food is collected and brought to drop off locations to be distributed. You may work out specific timing (based on availability and need) with your Community Captain.
Exact volunteer roles will be determined between you and your Community Captain, as needs vary by available roles and neighbourhood. Roles could include:
Food Pick Up Volunteer
You will use whatever means of transportation you wish (i.e. - vehicle, bike, wagon, etc.) to pick up non-perishable food items along a pre-assigned route and bring them to your neighbourhood hub spot.
Hub Spot Volunteer (if applicable for your neighbourhood)
You will be outdoors at your neighbourhood hub spot where you will receive the non-perishable food items that have arrived from the Food Pick Up Volunteers and send the food off with the Delivery Driver Volunteers to the drop off location.
Delivery Driver Volunteer
You have a vehicle to help transport the non-perishable food items from your neighbourhood hub spot to the drop off location.
