As a not-for-profit organization, Quest Food Exchange relies heavily on the support of volunteers in the communities that we serve. In 2015, over 1900 volunteers generously donated 27,000 hours to Quest operations! On behalf of the team at Quest and the community at large, thank you for choosing to volunteer with us. Primarily, your group volunteer session will involve the repackaging of food items for our not-for-profit grocery markets. Other special projects that may suit your group’s interests may also be available, depending on when your shift is scheduled. Examples of these include stocking, general maintenance, letter mail outs, and organizing products in the distribution centre. For more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator by email at volunteerjobs@questoutreach.org.
Volunteer groups can be scheduled between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM, Monday to Friday. Limited weekend volunteer opportunities are available.
We ask that new volunteer groups be scheduled for a minimum of 4 hours. If this does not suit your availability, alternative arrangements are possible.
Location: 2020 Dundas Street. Unless alternate arrangements are made, volunteer group sessions take place here. Your team may gather on the upper floor of the Administration Office, above the market.
The office entrance is located to the left of the market entrance.
