Warehouse Volunteer

As a Warehouse Volunteer you’ll play a vital role at the heart of our operations. You’ll be involved in a range of practical activities, from quality checking and sorting food deliveries to preparing orders and helping keep the warehouse running smoothly.

Volunteering in the warehouse is ideal for anyone who enjoys practical, physical work and wants to make a meaningful difference in their local community. The work is active and varied, offering a great opportunity to build confidence, develop practical skills, and meet like-minded people. With flexible shifts and full support from staff and volunteers, it’s a rewarding way to give your time, be part of a team, and help ensure that good food is never wasted.
