These can be made into smaller packages if you need this – training will be provided. Several opportunities are available on Monday and Friday mornings and afternoons for around 3 hours each time. Volunteer trial periods can be arranged. A background check is needed for all volunteers. The foodbank would like you to talk to them if you have any concerns about this. |
