Central Dalkeith & Woodburn Pantry is a community-run food initiative, set up by members of the local community in response to the cost of living crisis. We provide an affordable weekly food shop to our members as well as free fruit and vegetables, period products, pet food and bakery items.
Our friendly team of volunteers is essential to the running of the Pantry in helping us to set up, move stock, greet our customers, operate the till, assist with shopping and packing, and tidy at the end of the day.
The Pantry operates from the MARC building at 10 Woodburn Road, and is open every Friday from 1.30pm to 5.30pm. We begin set-up at 9am on Friday morning and have several timeslots during the day which our volunteers can choose from to come and help out.
Experience required
There is a role for everyone - whether you would prefer to help out behind the scenes with morning set-up, or enjoy customer-facing roles like greeting and bag packing. Any retail/community experience is welcomed
