A couple of hours a week
This place runs on people
Nobody here is doing this full time. The food bank opens on the first and third Tuesday of every month because somebody shows up. If you have a couple of free hours, there is something for you.
Where you are needed
You do not need experience or perfect English. You do need to show up on the day you said you would — that is the only thing we really ask.
