Volunteering at Bluffs Food Bank is a great way to join a fun and community-minded team of people helping our neighbours fight food insecurity. You will make an immediate and positive difference in the lives of our clients.
We are a 100% volunteer-run organization with no paid staff – so volunteers are critical to what we do. Volunteers’ activities include shopping for groceries, offloading delivery trucks, sorting food, organizing our storage area, packing and moving food hampers, interviewing clients, providing hampers to clients and completing tax returns.
We welcome anyone who can work well with a team and is willing to make a time commitment to our organization. We are particularly interested in volunteers who can lift at least twelve kilograms (approximately twenty-five pounds), due to the need to handle cases of foods and beverages.
Basic Requirements for All Volunteers:
- You must be at least eighteen years of age.
- You must be willing to provide a criminal record check.
- For most roles, volunteers need to be able to lift at least 12 kilograms.
Shifts are about two to four hours in duration.
