Volunteer with The Inn of The Good Shepherd
Every month, over 450 volunteers find a place in their schedule and a place in their heart to volunteer at The Inn. Whether it’s preparing a meal, helping to package or sort food, guiding clients or helping at a fundraiser – it’s a chance to reach out to the community and touch lives!

Fundraising & Special Event Volunteers

Soup Kitchen Teams
- Come together with your church, team or family, create and serve a meal to those in need in our community.
Food Bank Guides
- Guides work one morning a week from 9:15am – 12:00pm; assisting clients in making food choices and recording ‘points’ spent as they select food.
Food Bank Registrars

Food Bank Sorters
