Give Help
Volunteer
Volunteers are the life blood of foodbanks. Your skills could be just what we need.
Volunteers are the driving force behind foodbanks, helping get emergency food to people in crisis. At Oldham Foodbank, there are lots of ways to get involved — from collecting donations and packing parcels to admin, deliveries, social media, business links and fundraising. Whatever role you choose, you’ll make a real difference, while building skills, gaining experience, and giving back to your local community.
Current Roles Available
