Food Relief Volunteer
Darebin Information, Volunteer and Resource Service (DIVRS)The Food Services team supports our Emergency Relief and Community Support Program by sourcing, packing and distributing food to our community.
A day at DIVRS looks like this:
· Sorting fresh food from food rescue organisations, community donations and our growing sites.
· Packing pantry and fresh food parcels.
· Restocking our pantry and fresh food spaces.
· Helping distribute food at our Preston site. This gives you the opportunity to meet some of the community members who access this service.
· Helping with daily set-up and pack down.
We work as a team each day to make sure we get these tasks completed, usually with enough time to sit back and have a cuppa together mid-morning.
Additional opportunities:
• If you have an interest in nutrition and health and wellbeing, then ask about our nutrition team.
• If you can drive a van, you may be interested in volunteering as a Food Relief driver. You get to drive our DIVRS van around Darebin delivering parcels to the community.
We are looking for people who:
• Are interested in food security and sustainable practices, waste reduction and community engagement.
•General good health and ability to be able to complete jobs which requires some lifting.
• The ability to work independently and within a team
• A genuine desire to support the local community
