Community Events

Community Care Ministry
Our CCM team engage in compassionate, caring ministry; coming alongside the vulnerable, lonely, sick and the aged with love. Focus is on building a better community through care, prayer, and on expressing the love of Christ in a practical way by reaching out to the lonely and hurting in our communities. Monthly visits are made to Keswick Gardens and Cedarvale. Visits are also made to group homes, “shut-ins” and those in hospitals.
Ontario Camping Ministries
Each summer, we help support families across Georgina to send kids to overnight summer camp. Children ages 7-10 attend one week of camp at The Salvation Army’s Jackson’s Point Camp, and children ages 11-15 attend The Salvation Army’s Newport Adventure Camp. Contact us for information about how to register.

Volunteering Makes a Difference!!
We count on volunteers to uplift, support and bring our communities together. The time and skills volunteers dedicate help further our mission and extend the services we are able to provide to so many in need. Whether it’s serving a meal, or standing beside a Christmas Kettle, you will make a positive contribution. Please contact us (905 722 3059) if you would like to be a part of our Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign or to find out about other volunteering opportunities. A Christmas Kettle Volunteer Form can be found here.
