Volunteers Needed

The St. Vincent de Paul Society is hoping to establish an overnight shelter for the homeless in their building on Waterloo Street. They have the space available to accommodate 6 people each night and would like to begin operating as soon as early February. However, for this to become a reality, they need volunteers. They need help registering clients as they arrive, and they would require other volunteers to stay overnight with a security guard to ensure all clients are following the rules. If you would consider being part of this important outreach ministry, please contact the Cathedral by email (cic@nb.aibn.com), and they will pass your name along to the project coordinator.
