Other volunteer tasks include driving our refrigerated vans to collect surplus food and delivering meals to charities. Drivers should be physically fit and be aware the role involves some heavy lifting. A full, automatic driver’s licence is also required.
Warehouse volunteers will help with a variety of warehousing tasks such as taking delivery of incoming stock, recording and weighing incoming and outgoing product, stock rotation, general cleaning etc.
Please note that for warehouse roles, preference will be given to those with previous warehouse experience.
Why volunteers love being part of FareShare
“I feel I am supporting an excellent cause, helping others and enjoying myself - win, win, win!”
"The kitchens are so well organised and when you leave at the end of the shift you realise how many meals you have helped make and how much food has been saved from landfill."
"I chose the kitchen gardens to help develop my skills in growing food. My aim is to use the skills and knowledge I gain at FareShare to help communities in remote areas become self-sufficient."
“You never know what’s around the corner in life. To be able to offer some support to people in need gives me confidence that if I am in need, there are amazingly kind people in our community to offer support and assistance.”
"I am passionate about minimising waste and about helping people less fortunate than myself, so Fareshare gives me the opportunity to do both."
