Hey everyone,

As part of the upcoming Take Action Week, we will be organizing a Sandwich Run. The sandwich run, holding true to the core values of the organization, will allow volunteers to take action, and help the less fortunate people in our community.

This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in volunteering. The sandwich run is simply volunteers delivering bagged meals, to the city’s homeless, mainly around the University of Toronto.

The event will take place on Wednesday February, the 15th. We will meet in the lobby of Bahen Centre at 5PM. We will first go buy the supplies, and make the sandwiches. Then we will hit the streets giving sandwiches to the homeless from 6 to 7.

We ask each volunteer donate $3, to cover the cost of the food.

To REGISTER, email takeactionsandwichrun@gmail.com with your:

If you have any questions, email takeactionsandwichrun@gmail.com.

Volunteers may receive a REFERENCE LETTER upon request.

Next week, will be Take Action Week. Take Action Week is a set of events organized around the core tenets of the Take Action Organization. Each day will be something new, and a new opportunity to get involved and make a difference. The lineup is as follows:

Tuesday and Thursday will be Science Circle , where volunteers go to daycares and perform  science and engineering experiments for the children.

Wednesday will be Sandwich Run, where volunteers will  make sandwiches and give them to the homeless on the streets of Toronto.

Friday will be Volunteer Appreciation Day, where Volunteers can share their stories.

If you are interested in volunteering for the sandwichrun, email takeactionsandwichrun@gmail.com, or for the other events email takeactionorg@gmail.com.

The Children’s Holiday Party was a huge success. Thanks to all our volunteers, and a special thanks to all the magical people that put so much time and effort into the event and made it all happen.

We had our first sandwich run, of the semester. It was a lot of fun, and we are looking into organizing more sandwich runs next semester.

On Monday, November 28th, we will be volunteering at Scott Mission. It is a great volunteering experience and if you are still interested contact Jessica <jessica.fares@hotmail.com> ASAP. Lunch will be served to volunteers. It will last from 9:00am until 12:00pm.

Also the Holiday Party is also just around the corner. If you are still interested, in volunteering, contact one of the execs.

Hey guys, we’ll be having our annual sandwich run, on Friday November 25th. It will run from 4:30 to 7:30. We’ll spend the first hour or so, making sandwiches, and then give them out to the homeless near the university. There is a donation of $5, used to cover the cost of the sandwiches. Come out, it is a great opportunity to give back to the community.
