Mission and Service Resources
Share the Story of Mission and Service
The good work our collective generosity helps make possible needs to be celebrated! Mission and Service provides clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, community of faith support, refugee programs, and emergency aid, both in Canada and globally.
Please use these resources to tell the story of the generosity and compassion shown through your support. Read the Mission and Service Stories aloud on Sundays, share opportunities to give in your newsletters, and spread the good news!

Mission and Service Volunteer Program
Mission and Service volunteers are people who are ready to spread the word about the great work that’s being done by the United Church of Canada Foundation through Mission and Service.
Volunteers are “on the ground” in communities of faith. They tell our stories, making more and more people aware of just how life-changing Mission and Service is! And volunteering is a two-way street. We want to keep improving how we share Mission and Service through materials like our e-newsletter, our Facebook page, and our videos—so volunteers play an important part by letting us know about what resources work in their communities of faith.
Mission and Service volunteers can choose the work they want to do and the amount of time they are able to spend. They are provided with resources, training, and information, along with support from United Church of Canada Foundation staff whenever they need it.
It’s easy to take the next step to become a Mission and Service volunteer. Just call us at 1-800-465-3771 or email ms@united-church.ca .
