The Big Cook is a communal meal preparation event where all participants, staff, and volunteers come together to create and freeze months worth of meals for the resident participants in our Hestia Homes Program.
Hestia homes is a program operated by the YWCA Lethbridge & District that supports youth 17-24 who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless, teaching them essential skills on their development journey to independent living.
All ingredients and supplies are provided on-site. Volunteers need to bring a sense of creativity and fun, an ability to work together, and a heart for supporting vulnerable youth. An apron or smock, comfortable clothes and shoes, and a hair tie-back (if applicable) are also suggested.
It’s that time of year again! We are excited to announce details for our 2024 Christmas Kettle Campaign. We are hoping that with the generosity of our great community, we will raise $220,000 to support our work at Christmas time and year round. With the campaign starting on November 26th, we are in need of volunteers to stand on the iconic red Kettle.
Since 1992, the Lethbridge Family Services Angel Tree Christmas campaign’s goal has been to ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas. We collect new, unwrapped toys throughout the year, and distribute those toys in Christmas gift bundles to children and youth in the Lethbridge area whose families need help during the holidays.
United Way is seeking new faces for its Board of Directors!
United Way’s purpose is to raise funds to support essential local programs at United Way Partner Agencies. They provide grants to programs that target poverty reduction, building healthy families and strong communities, and helping children and youth be all they can be.
United Way works with local companies to facilitate payroll deduction donations for employees. Many small donations over time add up to BIG change. United Way also accepts donations from generous individuals and corporations to fuel change through collective impact.
The Board of Directors is proud of United Way’s impact on people, and in communities across South Western Alberta.

United Way Board Directors are dedicated and skilled in their work. The Board assumes both a mandatory role, based on legal requirements of boards of directors, and a chosen role, based on the board model it has elected for itself.
United Way is specifically looking for individuals with finance and legal background to join the board. Other individuals are welcome to apply as vacant positions are available.
Volunteer Lethbridge is inviting individuals and groups to help wrap presents during our Holiday Gift Wrapping fundraiser at Canadian Tire South happening December 2-23, 2024. This is a fun and festive opportunity for you to enjoy the season, make new community connections and support a local non-profit in your community. Orientation will be provided.
We are in need of volunteers to help take over 25 Christmas trees down along with other decorations on Friday, December 27th from 8:30am-4:30pm. These are from our annual Christmas Winter Wonderland event at Nord-Bridge.
Volunteer mentors are a crucial aspect of our program. We have space for 70 students but only have 4 teachers on staff. It’s impossible for those teachers to build close connections with all the students. Which is where volunteers come in! During our after school program we need volunteers to build relationships with the students and help them participate in the daily program. Our program runs Monday-Thursday from 3:30pm-5:30pm. We ask volunteers to choose one day/week to commit to helping out.
The first hour of our program students are arriving, eating snack and playing games which is the perfect time to visit and check-in with them. The second hour is dependent on the day. We have group music lessons, theory games, music appreciation activities, crafts, wide games, practices or ensemble class. While experience in music is an asset for volunteers, there are lots of other activities that we need support with too.
Having an older mentor has a huge impact on the success and wellbeing of a child. You can make a positive difference in the life of a child at Branches!
Volunteers are needed for shifts December 10 & 11, 2024.
