Volunteers Are Always Welcome

If you're interested in making a direct impact in our community, we'd love to have you join us! Whether you're passionate about distributing food, helping with inventory, or delivering to community members, there's always a way you can contribute. Keep reading to learn a bit more about the various volunteer opportunities we have available!

 

Client-Facing Roles

Volunteers in client-facing roles interact directly with clients, providing support and guidance during their shopping experience. These roles require strong customer service skills and attentiveness.

 

Non-Client-Facing Roles

Volunteers in non-client-facing roles focus on behind-the-scenes tasks that are essential for the efficient operation of the food bank.

 

Delivery Driver Role

As a delivery driver, you will be responsible for transporting grocery deliveries from our food bank to clients' homes. This role is vital in ensuring that clients who cannot visit the food bank in person still receive the food and supplies they need. You will follow a set delivery route, ensuring timely and safe delivery of items to clients. Vehicle required.

Corporate/Group Volunteer Opportunities

Our team volunteer days are a rewarding opportunity  to gain a deeper understanding of food insecurity, barriers our clients face to access services, and the work that Parkdale Community Food Bank does to ensure our community members receive nutritious food with dignity.

​

Teams leave the experience with a sense that they have made a difference in the lives of our clients, while strengthening relations among their members.
