Seva · Selfless service

Volunteering is
an act of love.

Seva means giving your time without expecting anything back. Every hamper packed and every plate of langar served in Edmonton says the same thing: the same Light lives in all of us, and everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Your first Sunday

Getting started is simple

No experience is needed and no commitment is too small.

  1. Say hello

    Email or call us and tell us a little about yourself. Or simply come by on a Sunday.

  2. Come on a Sunday

    Find us at 4954 Roper Road. Let us know you’re coming and we will find you a place.

  3. Serve alongside us

    Pack, serve, welcome. Come once, or make it part of your week — no commitment is too small.

Before you come

Common questions

Do I need any experience?

No. No experience is needed — you will work alongside our team, and every task can be learned on the day.

How much time do I need to give?

As much as you can. One Sunday helps, and there is no minimum — no commitment is too small.

Can I bring family or friends?

Yes. Serving together is part of the spirit of seva — let us know how many are coming so we can plan tasks.

I can’t volunteer in person. How else can I help?

A donation covers the cost of langar and groceries, and we share our financials on request. You can also help by telling others about the food bank.
