Volunteer
We're powered by a brilliant team of volunteers, and we couldn't do what we do without them!
Giving time every week to help in the warehouse, deliver parcels, collect donations, tend to our allotment, help at supermarket collections and so much more. Driven by a shared sense of justice and compassion, our volunteers help provide emergency food and support to local people across the county who’ve been referred to us in crisis.
Short on time?
We would still appreciate your help on an ad hoc basis. We hold regular supermarket collections throughout the year and need a large number of volunteers to support these. Most people volunteer for 2 hours and maybe once or twice a year. To find out when our next supermarket collection is, please get in touch.
Our Volunteers
Driven by a shared sense of justice and compassion, our volunteers help provide emergency food and support to local people across East Lothian who’ve been referred to us in crisis.
There are lots of different ways to get involved and we want you to enjoy volunteering for us. Whatever role you choose, you will make a real difference to the life of someone in crisis.
Want to volunteer with us?
We currently have the following volunteer opportunities:
We cover the whole of East Lothian and often our clients are not able to come to the foodbank to pick up their food parcels. Are you willing to see the sights of East Lothian and deliver food parcels to our clients?
From sorting and weighing donations, making up and labeling parcels, meeting those dropping off donations and clients, there's a wide range of hands-on roles for volunteers based in the foodbank.
Are you a social media wizz? We could use your support! We are eager to increase engagement across our channels and better connect with our community.
