Volunteer

Our volunteers help us to provide food and practical support to people left without enough money to live on.

Volunteers make a difference in the local community across a range of roles, including boosting donations, packing food parcels, providing a warm welcome, tackling loneliness, signposting to additional services, connecting with partners, raising awareness and leading projects.

Our amazing volunteers perform a variety of volunteering roles including: working in the warehouse, distributing food boxes and assisting clients at our 11 Distribution Centres, driving, and supermarket collections.

At Norwich Foodbank we are extremely blessed with the number of volunteers but we are always looking for new volunteers (unfortunately we currently only have opportunities for over 18s).
