Helston and Lizard Foodbank - Volunteers

We support a nationwide network of food banks and together we provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, and campaign for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.

VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are the life blood of foodbanks. Your skills could be just what we need.

Volunteers are the driving force behind foodbanks. There are thousands of volunteers across the UK, helping The Trussell Trust Foodbank Network get emergency food to people in crisis. We want you to enjoy volunteering and there are lots of ways to get involved. Whatever role you choose, you will make a real difference to the life of someone in crisis.

WAREHOUSE VOLUNTEER

We need help to weigh, sort and store donated food before it’s made into parcels for clients to collect. You could help in this vital work to ensure we have the right food available at all times.

HELPING AT A FOODBANK CENTRE

Meet clients and give out food parcels. Have an informal chat with clients over a cup of tea, to discuss their situation and signpost to further support.

TESCO NATIONAL COLLECTION

Twice a year Tesco supports a Foodbank Collection Day. Volunteers are needed to advise customers about the foodbank objectives, to provide “shopping lists” and to collect food donations for the warehouse.

If you are interested in volunteering please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
