The volunteer opportunities at CHUM are as diverse and varied as the volunteers themselves. From adopting an apartment at our shelter to stocking the shelves at the food shelf, CHUM has many ways to put your talents to work.

Some things to consider prior to calling:

A Volunteer Story: Peace Church in Action at CHUM Family Emergency Shelter

The culmination of many months of planning happened on Saturday, January 9th, 2009 when Peace Church members brought new energy to the Family Emergency Shelter.

Congregation members worked side by side with the families living in each apartment. Some cleaned and made repairs, while others removed old furniture and brought in new. Together they organized supplies.

Peace Church members took a break to enjoy the women, children and men they were assisting through a meal, music and games at the CHUM Center.

By the end of the day, new friendships had developed and at least one guest had found a new church community!
