Volunteer Roles
We receive lots of donations each week from the generous public, as well as our partnership with Irons for Foodbanks, Community Food Enterprise, Felix Project and Newham Food Alliance. We need to ensure we are rotating all our stock each week so that these precious donations are not wasted! This involves stamping dates on the food and moving stock from the back to the front of our pantry/fridges/freezers and replenishing our shelves with newly delivered items.
