How to volunteer

Wells Vineyard foodbank relies on the time of unpaid volunteers to collect food donated at local supermarkets, put together food parcels and deliver food parcels to people who are unwell or otherwise unable to collect food in person. We also welcome support from people who may be interested in helping with administrative tasks.

If you have regular spare time and would like to join our team of volunteers please email the Foodbank on info@wellsvineyard.com

Wells Vineyard Foodbank provides emergency food parcels to local people who have a referral voucher.
