There are many different roles available, all of which make a huge difference to ensuring people facing hardship get the support they need.

What does volunteering involve?

Find volunteering opportunities

Take a look at some of the volunteering roles which may be available at your local food bank.

Warehouse support

Be part of an amazing team making sure that everyone who needs an emergency food parcel gets one. You’ll pack food parcels, rotate stock, and may have the chance to welcome people into the food bank.

Delivery driver

You’ll play a vital role in delivering emergency food parcels directly to people’s homes. This service is essential for people who are unable to reach food banks due to health, mobility, or other challenges.

Parcel packer

This role is an integral part of the food bank team, you'll be speaking to clients and learning about their household and which essentials they need, before packing bespoke parcels for them.

Food bank greeter

Your face will be the first one people see when they enter the food bank! That’s why big friendly smiles, a warm and welcoming attitude, and empathy are vital for people wanting to volunteer in this incredible role.

Community campaigner

Help spread the word about your local food bank. Whether it be out at your local community events raising awareness, or meeting people in your local supermarket at a food drive, your local food bank needs you!
