Community Volunteers
Keeping our Mission community alive is only possible through the donations of goods, services and time from our many volunteers who every day make it possible for us to open our doors and meet the needs of community members who participate in Mission life. Volunteers and contributors include church members, school students, nursing students, business people, local firefighters and their families, hospital staff, and residents of Surrey and surrounding areas.

Volunteers from various churches and other organizations provide community meals and other services at the Mission. High school students help prepare and serve meals weekly. Student nurses do community nursing rotations at the mission, often devising and initiating innovative projects for community benefit, such as foot care and handwashing clinics, interviews with program participants, research, video productions, and brainstorming new models for our wellness clinics. Firefighters bring food throughout the year and help us make Christmas an extra special time. RCMP officers and transit police meet to resolve issues and assist in other ways. We appreciate all those who give their time, skills, and care to help the Mission help the community.

Mission Corps Volunteers
The Mission Volunteer Corps includes people who have been or are currently homeless as well as community volunteers and mentors. The Volunteer Corps assisted with recycling efforts during Olympics 2010 at the City of Surrey’s Celebration Site at Holland Park. Other projects include the Adopt-a-Street program, keeping the Mission grounds and surrounding areas clean and tidy, sorting and storing donations, helping others to set up their new homes and a myriad of other building and grounds maintenance chores.
