Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 193 neighbors in Mississauga. I help organize it with 5 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down. We need people for stewarding, first-aid support and clean-up. Shifts are three hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers. It's a family-friendly day, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day. If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Isla. Hope you get there.

    • Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
