Who we are:

Manchester Central Foodbank provides emergency food for over 1600 people per month in central, north and east Manchester.

Want to make a difference? We have a rising number of clients needing help so we desperately need more donations to meet the need. Donation drives give us lots of valuable food for our clients and they are fun to do. It’s a great feeling when a generous shopper puts lots of goodies in the donation bin.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is good with people, confident, approachable, empathetic, patient.

What would you be doing as a volunteer?

Volunteers wear foodbank tabards and have a big donation bin at the entrance of the supermarket. They hand out leaflets which highlight the items we need most with a friendly smile then shoppers can look at what we need and pop a tin of food in our donation bin as they leave. We have a Christmas donation drive at Tesco Gorton from Thursday November 28 to Saturday November 30.
