This volunteer role focuses on helping people of low socioeconomic status access essential goods and food, while fostering community spirit and wellbeing.

The facility operates Monday to Friday, 9 am–4 pm, with flexible volunteer hours agreed at an initial meeting. A minimum of two hours per day is preferred. Tasks may include lifting boxes up to 15kg, following instructions, and basic computer use (for some roles). Confidentiality is essential, and a Police check is required for issuing food parcels.

We are seeking volunteers to share their everyday life skills and support others in learning how to better care for themselves and their families.

Workshops run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to midday, and you can contribute in any or all areas – from cooking and sewing to handcrafts, edible gardening, shopping, or budgeting. Your knowledge could make a real difference.
