Warehouse volunteers help to maintain productive operations at FareShare.
They pack thousands of meals each shift ready for distribution into regional and rural Queensland communities. They box our meals into cartons, assist with stock rotation and load vehicles ready for dispatch. Warehouse volunteers need to be fit enough to handle weights of 12 kg.
Why volunteers love being part of FareShare
“I feel I am supporting an excellent cause, helping others and enjoying myself - win, win, win!”
"The kitchens are so well organised and when you leave at the end of the shift you realise how many meals you have helped make and how much food has been saved from landfill."
"I chose the kitchen gardens to help develop my skills in growing food. My aim is to use the skills and knowledge I gain at FareShare to help communities in remote areas become self-sufficient."
“You never know what’s around the corner in life. To be able to offer some support to people in need gives me confidence that if I am in need, there are amazingly kind people in our community to offer support and assistance.”
"I am passionate about minimising waste and about helping people less fortunate than myself, so Fareshare gives me the opportunity to do both."
