Over the last 18 months our wonderful volunteers have been making emergency food parcels and responding to online referrals and working with local organisations who are delivering emergency services to vulnerable people. Running the food bank is no mean feat and we couldn't keep it open without the wonderful support from local people, volunteers and funders. As we move into a post pandemic we still continue to support people in crisis with our healthy meal boxes and support local schools with our lunch packs.

​

• Food Quality checking: carry out the task you've been assigned by the coordinator on arrival.

• Sorting: all food items have a home in our cupboards; everything needs to be neatly stored in the correct place ready to be picked out to go into food and lunch parcels.

We need help to develop a strategy that promotes our fundraising efforts to a wider audience. Someone who is able to contact businesses who could be potential sponsors/funders. This is a job for a volunteer who's tenacious, connected and comfortable with reaching out to people. We've started a database of businesses to start with and will provide you with a draft email/letter and additional information about the charity you can send out.

Over the years the one thing we've seriously faulted on is updating and maintaining our social media accounts. We have the lot, even a YouTube channel! However finding the time to deliver projects and services, take pictures and videos and then create and post it all; has been challenging. We're looking for volunteers who can sign up to takeover our charity social media pages for a day.

We have a Facebook page for Mobile Food Bank. In an ideal world we would love it to become the hub for all the food bank activities. A place where people can ask queries and tell us they're donating or would like to volunteer. We're looking for volunteers who can answer queries and run the page for the day.
