Charity Volunteer Recruitment

Hi, I’m Emily from Harbor Community Food Bank. Join our volunteers to help prepare and distribute food parcels for our neighbours.

There are three ways to help. Our sorting team checks packaging, groups donations by food type, and sets aside items needing staff review. Our packing team then follows a checklist, checks each parcel’s contents, and prepares completed parcels for collection. Finally, our distribution team checks appointments, guides visitors to their parcels, and helps carry groceries to the collection point.

Whichever role you choose, no experience is needed. Volunteers must be 18 or older and commit to two shifts per month. Before starting, you’ll attend a 30-minute orientation covering donation handling, packing procedures, and visitor privacy. Seated tasks are available; tell us about any adjustments you need when applying.

Ready to join? Shifts take place at Harbor Community Centre, 240 Maple Avenue, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon, or Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Complete our website’s volunteer form with your preferred role and availability. We’ll email within three working days to confirm your shift and orientation.

Choose your role and submit your volunteer form today. Thank you for helping us support our neighbours.
