Join CARTS Outreach on a Friday night and experience firsthand helping homeless people in Victoria BC.
If you would like to donate your time or would just like to see how CARTS Outreach works, please feel free to join us. Your presence is all that is required - however, you are welcome to contribute extra food, treats, or items of clothing. If you would like to let us know ahead of time that you are coming, please contact us.
We gather at 6:30 pm at the parking lot between Yates and View, behind the Capitol 6 Theatre. We walk for approximately 2 1/2 hours, so bring warm clothes, good shoes and a snack.
Volunteer
We are exceptionally grateful to all CARTS volunteers - past, present, and future.
If you would like to formally volunteer, we have a range of opportunities at CARTS including:
- Helping with our outreach services
- Creation and distribution of hygiene packs
- Food pick-up and storage
- Food preparation and wrapping
- Cookie baking (using our famous CARTS recipe)
There are also many wonderful ways that you can contribute on a one-time on ongoing informal basis. For example, some of our volunteers have contributed by knitting warm items or bringing a particular snack to distribute whenever they have the time to come out on a Friday night....there are many ways to get involved with CARTS and help those in need.
Please contact us to find out more about contributing your time, talents, or skills!

Hygiene Packs
One of our past volunteers, Lou, was with CARTS for a number of years. After she joined, she quickly recognized that some of our clients had a desire for personal items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap. Lou decided to make this her task in our CARTS organization. After successfully handling hygiene packs for CARTS Outreach, Lou has now moved from Victoria. This role is currently vacant, and would be a very useful area of responsibility for a new volunteer who would like to become involved in the creation and distribution of hygiene packs.
