Through our Volunteering,
We're Building Community.
Our volunteers aren’t just helpers; they’re essential members of the FoodFilled family. Without them, our mission simply wouldn’t be possible.
Volunteering with FoodFilled offers a unique and meaningful opportunity — one that creates an immediate, positive impact for vulnerable people in our community.
What You’ll Need
Because our volunteering is delivery-based, you’ll need:
Access to a car, plus a valid driver’s licence
This ensures food can be transported safely and efficiently from donors to the charities we support, delivering immediate relief to those facing food insecurity.
Our community is diverse, with people from all walks of life united by one thing: a passion for helping others.
All Abilities Volunteering
An inclusive and accessible volunteering experience
FoodFilled makes food rescue easy, fun, and rewarding. Through the All Abilities volunteering program, support workers and participants collect surplus food from local businesses and deliver it to people in need.
Many individuals face barriers to volunteering opportunities, but FoodFilled makes it easy to actively contribute and make a difference.
The process is simple and requires no special training - just a car and a willingness to make a difference. In an hour, you can both help reduce food waste, fight hunger, and give back to the community in a way that is both enjoyable and fulfilling.
You can choose a time that fits your schedule, whether in the morning or afternoon. This opportunity is open to all support workers and clients, making it a great way to bond over a shared, meaningful experience.
L plates?
Completing your 120 hours?
Make them count.
FoodFilled’s L-Plater Volunteer Initiative is a program that gives learner drivers the ability to achieve their required 120 hours of driving while making a tangible impact in their community.
If a L-plater were to volunteer through their 120 hours of driving, their impact would amount to 3,600 kg of food rescued from landfill, 7,200 people fed who experience food insecurity, and 5,400 kg of CO2 reduced.
This initiative allows people on their L’s to give back to their local community in an easy, accessible, and impactful way. Young people engaged in volunteering often develop a deeper appreciation for social issues and are more likely to continue philanthropic efforts into adulthood. So, L-platers ultimately gain driving experience while simultaneously building empathy and awareness through exposure and engagement with social and community issues.

More Than Just Volunteering
Volunteering with FoodFilled is about more than the tasks you do. It’s about the relationships you build, the impact you create, and the fulfilment that comes from being part of something genuinely meaningful.
