As an organisation, we value the support of volunteers and benefit from the dedication of a passionate team across a range of roles and responsibilities. Whether it’s sorting and distributing rescued food, assisting with educational programmes, or supporting community engagement initiatives, our volunteers play a vital role in our mission to tackle food insecurity and promote sustainability.
