Soup Drive for Toronto Urban Native Ministries

Please help St. Matthew’s bring 200 bowls of soup to Toronto Urban Native Ministries (TUNM) once a week during the Covid-19 pandemic. Demand has increased by the hundreds, and St. Matthew’s has a plan to help. We need volunteers to shop, chop, and deliver, and donations to pay the grocery bills.

​

The safety plan:

• Social-distancing food prep on tables in the gym

• Wearing face shields and gloves

• Criteria for Volunteers (4 per week):

  • No travel for 14 days

  • No entry into hospitals, nursing homes, seniors’ and long-term care residences, correctional facilities, or homeless shelters in the last 14 days

  • No contact in the last 14 days with anyone who has or might have Covid-19

  • No history of cough, fever, difficulty breathing, or pneumonia in the last 14 days

Please review this volunteer checklist to make sure it's safe for you to volunteer.

​

The schedule:

• Monday – Meal planning and shopping 

• Tuesday at 9am – Food prep at St. Matthew’s kitchen

• Tuesday afternoon – Take the soup to Holy Trinity in downtown Toronto, to be served by TUNM on Wednesday

How we hope to cover costs:

• Please donate to St. Matthew’s Outreach Fund.

• We’ll keep everyone informed regarding the average cost per meal.
