The real heart of Bow and Bethnal Green foodbanks is our team of over 300 volunteers who take on a range of roles from bag packing, client registration, serving clients, providing hospitality, stock taking and so much more. If you are interested in volunteering please visit the Volunteer page.

Occasionally we have special projects that volunteers can get involved in, such as helping with administrative tasks and databases, organising or helping with fundraising events and writing copy for newsletters or articles.
