VOLUNTEER WITH FOODSHARE

In contrast to programs based on more traditional charity principles, our projects are based on community building / self-help principles. Again, that means that there is little distinction between "volunteers" and "participants." Volunteers aren't so much "helping someone out" as they are taking part in the exciting opportunity to help build a new food system.

We also promote workshops, workbees and other local food events through our monthly e-bulletin. Click here to SIGN-UP FOR OUR LOCAL NEWS & EVENTS E-BULLETIN

Potential Volunteer positions with FoodShare:

Good Food Box Stop Coordinator
FoodShare relies on well over 150 volunteers who coordinate Good Food Box drop-offs. A Good Food Box stop can start with 5 - 8 orders- ideally reaching a minimum of 10 orders. With every ten boxes ordered - we deliver a free Good Food Box which can be used by the stop coordinator, shared amongst the other boxes or donated.

Good Food Box stops (we also call them drop-offs) can be front porches, co-ops, social housing, daycares, churches, community centres etc. Volunteer stop coordinators take orders, collect payment and ensure that customers pick up their boxes. Stops can have a delivery once a week, every two weeks or once a month. Everyone can participate.
