Volunteer

CHUM provides a variety of service opportunities that meet the needs of our clients as well as broaden and deepen the life experiences of our volunteers. Whether you want to give a few hours once or volunteer on a weekly basis, CHUM has a volunteer experience for you.

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:

• How much time do you have available (days, hours)?
• What are your interests and passions?
