Volunteer

Volunteers are the driving force behind foodbanks. There are thousands of volunteers across the UK, helping the Trussell 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.

York Foodbank has a Christian ethos and partners with local churches to give emergency food to people in need. We welcome and consider applications from members of the public irrespective of an individuals beliefs. It is worth noting, however, that one specific role in the distributing sessions run by local churches requires volunteers to have a Christian faith and be willing to pray with people. This is in order to fulfil specific responsibilities and requirements attached to that role. Numerous other opportunities exist within York Foodbank to volunteer or join us permanently and those that are open for all to apply to can be seen here.

Volunteering opportunities specifically can also be seen alongside Trussell vacancies nationally (at all foodbanks). To search and apply for current volunteering opportunities at foodbanks please search under the Trussell Foodbank volunteer opportunities page.

Alternatively, email us via [email protected] if you have a specific interest in a particular type of role.
