Volunteer With Us

We’re always looking for new volunteers to join the team.

  • Fridays: Help cook meals and prepare supplies.
  • Sundays: Join us in the kitchen to cook, help us transport food from the kitchen to the downtown serving location, join us downtown to serve food, greet guests, share a meal and lend a hand, or join us back in the kitchen for the cleanup shift.
  • We do a lot more than this throughout the week, including encampment outreach and support, donation pickups and deliveries, emergency food hampers, volunteer appreciation events, and more. If you have another way you’d like to contribute — organizing donations, offering supplies, or supporting logistics — we’d love to hear from you.

Email us at sidebysideguelph@gmail.com to get started.

Donate

Your donations keep us going! Every contribution helps us buy ingredients, serve meals, and support those in need.

  • If you want to donate to us, we accept e-transfers at sidebysideguelph@gmail.com. This is the easiest and fastest way to get the funds directly to us.

  • We are also supported by the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition and can offer charitable receipts upon request for donations made to us through them. Simply select Side by Side Guelph from the dropdown menu on their CanadaHelps page or reach out to us directly to learn more ways to donate to us through the GNSC.

  • For information on how to provide cash or cheque donations, please contact us at SideBySideGuelph@gmail.com.
