Winter Street Patrol is a program of St. Patrick’s Parish and Ignite Young Adult Ministry where groups walk the streets of downtown Toronto delivering lunch bags, hot beverages, clothing, hot soup, and hygiene supplies and company to our brothers and sisters who are living on the streets, and/or experiencing life challenges from day to day.
Winter Street Patrol runs roughly every second week. Please see the registration information below to see the next available date.
Participants bring a backpack with 8-10 sandwiches. We will assemble them into lunch bags on site with other supplies – You provide the sandwiches only.
Please come prepared with a backpack and your individually wrapped sandwiches. Be sure to dress according to the weather conditions.
