Looking for something different? Send us an email and lets come up with a plan!

If you’ve got ideas for a unique volunteering experience or need something tailored to suit your team, we’d love to hear from you. Corporate volunteering is incredibly valuable to Foodbank WA; it helps us pack hampers, cook meals and deliver vital food relief to Western Australians doing it tough. We can customise an experience that aligns with your goals while making a real difference in the community.

Foodbank WA, in partnership with Allianz, will deliver a university market day to show up where students are and making access to food easier.

At this event, we partner with the university and supporters to provide fresh produce and essential food items to students experiencing food insecurity. We are looking for a group of 10 volunteers to play a key role in making the day run smoothly, from setting up the stall to welcoming students and handing out food.

This is a fast paced, social volunteering opportunity that suits teams who enjoy engaging with people and working together. You will see the impact of your time straight away as food goes directly into students’ hands.

What you will be doing

Helping set up and pack down the stall

Welcoming and guiding students through the market

Handing out fresh produce and pantry items

Opening and restocking cartons as needed

Supporting a safe and friendly environment on site

This is a great opportunity to support student wellbeing, build team connection and be part of a visible, meaningful Foodbank WA initiative on campus.

Park for a Purpose is Foodbank WA’s newest fundraising event, which will be raising vital funds for our next Mobile Foodbank. For many people, a car, a caravan or a tent is the final safety net before homelessness. This event exists to help people before they reach that point.

In the lead up to the event, we are looking for some helping hands to assist with preparing materials, food and logistics. These sessions will support the smooth delivery of the event and help ensure a great experience for participants on the day.

This opportunity is ideal for corporate teams who enjoy practical tasks, working together and contributing to a larger purpose.

Fruit picking with Foodbank WA is a practical, boots-on-the-ground way to support fresh food rescue.

We partner with local growers and producers who are willing to donate surplus fruit. With volunteer support, we can harvest produce that might otherwise go to waste and redirect it to charities, schools and community programs across Western Australia.

From 3 to 7 August, we need teams of up to 10 each day to help us pick mandarins that will go directly to our Perth and Regional branches, Mobile Foodbank and School Breakfast Program.

Location: Gibb’s Farm – 1364 Chittering Road, Lower Chittering
