Give Help
Volunteer
Volunteers are the life blood of foodbanks. Your skills could be just what we need.
There are thousands of volunteers across the UK, helping The Trussell Trust Foodbank Network get emergency food to people in crisis.
Right now, Leeds North & West Foodbank are in urgent need of the following volunteers:
Volunteers at our distribution centres needed
We are looking for volunteers who are able to help at our distribution centres, especially our new Hawksworth Wood centre.
There are a range of different roles you could get involved in at the centres – meeter and greeter (making initial contact with clients and welcoming them to centre); signposter (doing main work with clients and signposting them to organisations that can help); packer (packing bags) and help in the kitchen (making drinks etc).
