We all have skills and talents. How do we use those to Give Back in our communities? Hands in Service has numerous opportunities for volunteers like you to support and advance Love and care in our communities. Events are fun and short term, help us create awareness and the necessary funding to continue service; Leadership moves us forward and provides foundation for us to grow and develop in meeting needs.

Whether it’s delivering a food hamper, preparing a meal, or vacuuming the carpet, volunteering is easy. It’s flexible and requires little time commitment. We often don’t realize how much even a brief moment together means to someone who is isolated, hurting and alone. Once you give love back through Hands In Service, you will find that the love that you have will be forever changed. It will be broader and deeper because we are made to give it.

Check back often, or contact us about your particular skills and talents. Giving Back is one of the most rewarding things you can do for your community and yourself.

Energetic Hands Volunteer

Blitz Team Volunteer

In teams of 2 or more people, Blitz volunteers perform one-time cleaning assignments for clients; clearing out the clutter while restoring a sense of hope and dignity to those who desperately need it.

This is a great opportunity for families, teams, friends, youth groups, or individuals who wish to serve on an occasional basis but cannot commit to a consistent schedule.

Time Commitment: Flexible 2-3 hour assignments depending on volunteer availability.

Many Food Bank clients have physical disabilities or mobility problems that do not allow them to pick up their food hampers on-site.

Hands In Service Food Bank Drivers deliver food from community food banks to clients who are housebound. They also deliver Kelowna Food Bank Tiny Bundles: a program for new mothers with children from pregnancy through to age 1 that provides weekly supplemental food and infant supplies.

  • Hands in Service is a faith-based organization. While as Christians, we approach serving as a love response to God, we recognize that not all our volunteers will have the same relationship with God. It is our desire to work with anyone who wants to help us make a difference. What we ask is that in a volunteer capacity and while representing Hands in Service, there is recognition and honor of the faith statement. Volunteers are asked not to present or act from any alternate faith position and to conduct themselves with integrity and wholesome behavior and language for the edification of all concerned.
    From Scripture we believe: There is only one sovereign God who manifests as three - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - or Trinity. He is infinite and eternal, He has always been God and He is the Creator of everything that exists. All people are guilty of wrong acts and thoughts. This nature separates humans from God's holiness but not from His love! Jesus is fully God and fully man. Jesus was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit; the birth child of the Virgin Mary, and lived a perfect life. Because of His love for us, Jesus Christ became our representative and substitute, dying as the payment for our wrong actions and thoughts and was physically raised from the dead after three days. Those who choose to enter into relationship with Jesus Christ as sovereign over their lives and accept His death in their place receive forgiveness and restored relationship to God the Father and will live with Him forever.
