Warehouse Volunteers

• Aberdeen North Foodbank

• VO89671

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the country.

This role involves supporting the food bank team in managing their food donations. Food donations are sorted, weighed and packed ready for distribution.

• Ensure that all Trussell Trust warehousing procedures and processes are followed as per the foodbank operating manual
• Receive food donations from members of the public and thank them
• Ensure that incoming stock is checked, weighed, and recorded
• Sort food by date and type, removing any items that are damaged or out-of-date and weighing these out separately
• Keep warehouse area clean and tidy at all times, checking for evidence of pests and notifying the project manager if there are any concerns
• Prepare stock orders for the foodbank centre and/or emergency food boxes, as appropriate
• Assist in undertaking an annual stock take as detailed in the foodbank operating manual
• Report any health & safety or safeguarding concerns to the project manager

All volunteer help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated.
