Volunteer

Volunteers are the driving force behind foodbanks. There are thousands of volunteers across the UK, helping The Trussell Trust Foodbank Network get emergency food to people in crisis. We want you to enjoy volunteering and 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.

Helping at our warehouse

Teams of volunteers help us every weekday in our warehouse based at Kansas Avenue close to Media City in Salford. Volunteers help to unload and sort food donations and pack food parcels.

If you would like to find out about future volunteering opportunities, please email us on [email protected] 

Helping at a supermarket collections

Several times a year we visit local supermarkets in the Salford area where we give out our shopping list to shoppers asking if they would consider buying an additional item or two to donate to the foodbank.
These supermarket collections usually take place on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at different points during the year.  We usually ask that people wishing to help in this way commit to volunteering for a 2hr slot at some point during the day.

If you would like to volunteer in this way, please email [email protected] and we can let you know when these are taking place to see if you are available.

Fundraising

We rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, churches and other organisations for finances to be able to operate.  One of the ways that you may be able to help is by organising a fundraising event and ask your friends and family for sponsorship. We would love to hear from you if you would like to help us in this way!  Please email us on [email protected] or call us on 0161 637 2120 so we can help support your efforts.
