TEAM VOLUNTEER DAYS
Join our Team Volunteer Day Program and make a difference in your community!
Our team volunteer days are a rewarding opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of food insecurity, barriers our clients face to access services, and the work that Parkdale Community Food Bank does to ensure our community members receive nutritious food with dignity.
We have found that teams leave the experience with a sense that they have made a difference in the lives of our clients, while strengthening relations among their team's members.
