Volunteer
Volunteers are the life blood of foodbanks. Can you spare a couple of hours a week on a fairly consistent basis? Your skills could be just what we need.
Our current volunteer needs are;
Dwell café
Café – Involves serving food and drink to customers, using the till and making coffees, within cafe hours. This position supports the Dwell cafe which provides affordable food for the community, with all income going back into the wider Foodbank project. Some hospitality experience preferred but not necessary; we are happy to provide training.
Kitchen – Assisting the in-house Chef with food preparation, moving stock and dishwashing. Kitchen experience desired but not essential (Needed on Wednesdays and Thursdays)
Social media – Assisting the Project Coordinator with communications and social media, to expand our outreach; this would include filming and editing short-form video content of the cafe/foodbank, and working with our marketing partner Peaky Digital to schedule posts.
Foodbank
Welcome Team (previously called Reception) – Meeting clients, processing their requirements and signposting them to further help if applicable.
Delivery Driver – Volunteers with own cars who can collect food donations and deliver food parcels to clients in the Penryn/Falmouth area. (We are currently not offering deliveries, but aim to get this service back up and running when we have volunteer capacity)
Delivery 2nd Person– Volunteers who are happy to act as a ‘2nd’ person in another volunteer‘s car for food collections and deliveries, joining them and helping load and unload the car.
Fundraising & Events assistant – Supported by the Project Coordinator, this role includes organising fundraising activities such as in-house events, working in partnership with local organisations to promote external events, and applying for online grant funding for the Foodbank.
If our project sounds like a good fit, we would love to hear from you! We have other roles that may need filling in future, and are always interested in expanding our community impact – so if you have any other skills that you feel are worth mentioning, please do let us know.
Come and join an amazing friendly team committed to helping those struggling in our community.
