OOTC Volunteer Registration is Now Open

The 24th season of the Beth Sholom/Beth Tzedec Out of the Cold Shelter will operate on Monday nights from January 13 through March 31, 2025. We provide a hot meal, clothing, entertainment, an art program and BINGO for 150 of Toronto’s homeless and needy people in our community. We also offer a bagged lunch and a one time ttc pass each week.

Volunteers can register from November 8 through December 8. For information or to register for specific dates/duties, click HERE.

The distribution of warm clothing is one of the most essential services we provide to our guests. We greatly appreciate your clothing donations. Please note that we only accept new or nearly-new adult-sized items, and only the following items: down coats, ski jackets, parkas, snow pants, sweaters, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweat pants, flannel shirts, short and long-sleeved t-shirts, blue jeans, corduroy pants, winter boots, hiking boots, running shoes, thermal underwear, gloves and mitts. Brand new underwear and sports bras are needed as well. Clothing can be dropped off at Beth Sholom Synagogue anytime from Monday to Thursday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
