Volunteer
We couldn’t operate without the dedication and hard work put in by our amazing team of volunteers. Please see below more information about volunteering opportunities available at Birmingham Central Foodbank. If you are interested in volunteering please get in touch.
Regular Volunteer Roles:
(Please note as of May 2026 we are at capacity for some roles, so may not have positions immediately available)
Distribution Shifts:
Our distributions shifts are on a Tuesday and a Friday during the day. Volunteering at one of these shifts involves working with the team to serve clients, make up food parcels, and offer a listening ear to people.
Stock Shifts:
Our stock shifts are generally on a Thursday morning. Volunteering at one of these shifts involves sorting and dating donated items, unloading deliveries of food, and restocking shelves.
Driving:
Our driving volunteers collect food donations from supermarkets and other food suppliers, and bring them to the Foodbank. This role requires a vehicle and a driving license.
Other Volunteer Positions:
We are regularly looking for volunteers to fill specific positions within the Foodbank. These often involve a larger commitment than our regular roles, as well as specific skillsets. To see an updated list of these positions please click here.
