Westend Community Food Bank

We are a Food Bank looking for a volunteer every second Thursday from 8:00 AM until noon. We are not open any other times and therefore do not need a volunteer outside of these hours.As part of our team. you will be responsible for greeting the clients as they come up to the Food Bank door and handing them pre-bagged groceries. You will be one of 4 or 5 volunteers working at that time. You will help with setup before the door opens at 8:30 AM and with clean up after the Food Bank closes at noon. You must be able to speak in English, and other languages are appreciated.If you would like to be part of our Food Bank and help people living with food insecurity in our community, we would like to talk with you!

The Westend Community Food Bank is looking for individuals interested in serving on our Board of Directors. Of particular interest would be someone willing to form relationships with community organizations for the purpose of obtaining donations of non-food products. We meet 10 times a year in a Board member's home in Dartmouth and also via Zoom if appropriate. We usually meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 until 8:30.We are a very hands-on Board that gives strategic direction but also helps resolve day to day issues that the Food Bank Manager or Food Bank Administrator need assistance with.If you are interested in being involved in a very active organization that helps food insecure clients each and every week, we are interested in hearing from you.
