Volunteer

We always need help in the warehouse. There are loads of different tasks to do: booking food in and out of the warehouse, sorting through the food, completing daily checks, cleaning and much more. You’ll learn about where surplus food comes from and be right at the centre of the action!

Serving our members is an important role. There’s a chance to chat and catch up from the previous week, you’ll also be responsible to ensuring food is stocked up, everyone is getting the same portions, and everything is kept clean and in order.

Do you have any food preparation or commercial kitchen experience? If so, this could be a great way for you to use your skills to really help out. Don’t worry if not, we provide all the training you need. We make the most out of all the food we get in. Sometimes food will need to be re-packed into different sizes, or we may need to cook foods before they go out-of-date. Whatever the reason, there’s always lots to do!

We are constantly collecting and delivering food. Sometimes its a collection from a local food business, sometimes it may be further afield. Whatever the location, we are always in need of people to drive our vans (and be a driver’s mate) so we can get as much food to our members as possible. This is a great task if you’re used to driving larger vehicles, but don’t worry if you’re not, we’ll give you a crash course before you get started. Well, not a crash course.

We collect food from lots of local retailers, often at the end of the day. If you have access to your own vehicle, but not too much time available to offer, collecting food for us is a really great way to get involved. Even once a week is a big help.
