Volunteering

You can volunteer anything from a few hours to a few days a week…

Voedselbank Amsterdam values any contribution you can make: your time and skills could be just what we need. And we want you to enjoy volunteering. There are lots of ways to get involved. Whatever role you choose, you will make a real difference to the life of someone in crisis. We can always use volunteers for:

• Our warehouse: we sort and store donated food before it’s made into parcels for clients. Your help is vital as your work ensures our continuity;
• Our uitgiftepunten (food bank pick-up locations in town): help us to hand out weekly food parcels to our customers;
• Our supermarket food drives: help us at supermarkets to encourage shoppers to donate perishable food items;
• Chauffeurs: we drive around town to collect food donations and to deliver weekly packages. All drivers must be have the appropriate drivers license: type B, BE or CE (code 95 for trucks);
• A variety of activities for few hours, e.g. packing food parcels: check the activity calender at NL cares;
• Do you have skills that we could use? Please discuss the options with our hr-department by sending an e-mail to vrijwilligers@voedselbank.org.
