Fundraising Volunteers Required

We are looking for new fundraising volunteers to join a newly formed Fundraising committee for the Canterbury Food Bank. No experience is necessary, just enthusiasm and creativity.

The committee will meet periodically over Zoom to discuss new avenues for fundraising for the Food Bank. Volunteers will be encouraged to explore their own ideas for events and fundraising schemes with the full support of the Fundraising Coordinator. There is no minimum time commitment to this role – volunteers will be able to contribute however much they feel able.

For more information please get in touch.

I have been volunteering at Canterbury Food Bank for a number of years. During this time I have met some lovely people at the warehouse and have enjoyed giving something back to our community.

I wish the Foodbank wasn’t necessary. I support it because I think children going to bed hungry is the worst thing in the world, and shouldn’t happen in any civilised country. I’m sorry I can’t do much to help at present, being over 70, and feel frustrated that some of the things I do to raise money, like fundraising dinners, won’t be possible until we have a vaccine. I can still raise some money by selling my surplus plants, and people are very generous.

I volunteer because I want to help people who are in a financial crisis. A situation that any of us can find ourselves in. I've also learnt new skills and met some lovely people.
