Food Bank Volunteer Opportunity

We are currently looking for volunteers to support our Food Bank operations. Volunteers play a vital role in helping ensure families in our community have access to essential food supports.

Tasks and duties may include:

• Lifting and moving boxes and bags of food (some heavy lifting required)

• Sorting incoming food donations

• Checking food for expiry dates and quality

• Bagging fresh produce

• Packing food hampers for clients

• Providing friendly, respectful service to clients during distribution

This is a hands-on role best suited for individuals who are comfortable being on their feet and working as part of a team. Your time and support make a meaningful difference for families in our community.

TCEP is looking for an enthusiastic person to provide support with organizing and starting a garden including helping with ongoing garden maintenance. As well as offer educational programs in the garden. Our aim is to offer quality fresh foods to the community whenever possible.
