Volunteer

Volunteering is more than delivering a task without payment. It’s about giving the gift of your time, talent and skills.  Tottenham Foodbank volunteers are the driving force behind our service, donating almost 7,000 hours in support of vulnerable neighbours between June 2020 and May 2023.

Volunteering with our Foodbank Team

We are looking for volunteers to help out at our food bank sessions. As a Food bank centre helper you will play a vital role giving direct support to people who use food banks, meeting and greeting people coming into the food bank, packing their food parcels, making them feel comfortable and providing further signposting support where appropriate.

Shifts are Monday 11:45am-2:15pm and Thursday 4:45pm-7:15pm at Tottenham Town Hall where the food bank is based. We require volunteers to support for a minimum of 1 shift per month and you also must be able to commit to volunteering for at least 3 consecutive months.

Collection Driver Needed

We are looking for confident, safe drivers to join our driving team.

The role will mainly involve picking up donations from our partner Supermarkets in Seven Sisters and Stroud Green and transporting it to our warehouse in Tottenham. This will involve loading tins and other food items into and out of a vehicle so you will have to be comfortable lifting and carrying a fair weight.

We also arrange other ad-hoc collections from other locations, particularly over Christmas.

Ideally, collections will be some time between 11am and 7pm on Thursdays, though we may be able to be flexible. Our van can be used if you do not have your own vehicle.
