We cannot do what we do without you!
"Volunteers and student volunteers are an integral part of our services - without them, we would not be able to make as broad of an impact. Those we serve have a greater breadth of programs open to them, and those who contribute their time and skills then become educators in our greater community regarding poverty and homelessness."
-- Sam, Director of Health & Wellness

“My favourite days of the week include volunteering with a great team of people at The Mustard Seed. Connecting and being active in a community setting is something that I have always done and will continue to do and The Mustard Seed has been the perfect place for me.”
-Jordan, a valued volunteer.

“Volunteering is something I always wanted to do once I retired. We have fun when we're all working together in the kitchen and we get to help marginalized people. It's really humbling and it puts life in perspective."
-Gord, a valued volunteer.

“Volunteering is my way of doing what I can to help others in need - it’s a way of expressing my heart to serve with love and compassion and to open my eyes and see others as God sees them.”
-Shari, a valued volunteer.

“Without the nourishment from the program, how will their brains grow? - This is my retirement dream and I am happy here when we’re making lunches for these kids!”
-Michelle, volunteer for the School Lunch Program

The Mustard Seed Kamloops is always in need of volunteers at both of our locations: the Outreach Centre and the Thrift Store.
Preparing, cooking, and serving meals to our clients is one of the areas we need help with! If you are comfortable in a kitchen setting, please consider offering your time to serve those in need.
Spring cleaning marks a busy time of year for our Thrift Store as well, as people clean out their closets and donate gently worn clothing and other household items. We could use some extra hands to help sort, organize, and price items for resale. All proceeds from the Thrift Store go directly to helping local Mustard Seed programs and initiatives.
