With a team of over 70 dedicated volunteers, we distribute food parcels to thousands of men, women, and children across the Falkirk area each year, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry during their time of need.

If you're looking for a way to give back to your community then join Falkirk Foodbank as a Volunteer Driver! You'll play a key role in helping us deliver vital food parcels to those in need across the Falkirk area, ensuring that individuals and families receive the support they need. You'll also assist by picking up donations from collection points and local partners. It's a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference, all while meeting new people and being part of a passionate team. We provide our own vans, and all we need is your time, dedication, and a clean driving license.

This role is an essential part of our operations, helping us deliver food parcels directly to people's homes, including flats and harder-to-reach locations.
