Volunteer Services Information & Referral (I&R) is a position based out of the Volunteer Services office where several community programs are operated. I&R volunteers are the main person of contact for people using the services of our Maple Street location. Services include Volunteer Wheels, Shop by Phone and the Income Tax clinic.

Newton Advocacy Intake Volunteers are based out of the Advocacy Programs.  In addition to offering advocacy services in the area of income assistance, disability benefits, residential tenancy matters and Canadian Pension Plan Disability benefits, we also have a Housing First team and Surrey Rent Bank. As an intake volunteer, you will be assisting our Intake Workers and acting as the first point of contact for individuals seeking service in person and over the phone.

Sources Langley Food Bank serves approximately 1000 individuals a week by providing nutritious food and support to community members in need. The Sources Food Banks strive to raise awareness about poverty, and to involve the community in solutions. Our Food Banks are proud to offer a choice-based model for our clients— contributing to the preservation of dignity and power of choice for clients lending to an overall more positive experience.

Volunteers assist with direct food distribution, working alongside users of the Food Bank to meet their daily food needs.

Often times our community would like to volunteer with Sources but are unable to make a weekly commitment due to their busy schedules.  As such, we would like to offer you the opportunity to volunteer for "one-off" events that take place throughout the year.  Events such as our Coldest Night of the Year, Gala, Parades, Homeless March and so many more.  Simply click this box and we will contact you when an opportunity arises.

Sources Volunteer Wheels is a program designed to provide transportation for residents in the communities of White Rock and South Surrey to access their essential healthcare appointments more easily. Volunteer drivers of this program pick clients up at their homes and drive them to and from their healthcare appointments all throughout the Lower Mainland. This program is a driving and companionship service and drivers do not provide medical assistance.
