Opportunity Details

This role involves coordinating a food drive in your workplace or community centre, including organising logistics and promoting the event.

Key tasks:
• Organise a food drive in your workplace
• Agree the date and duration
• Liaise with your local food bank and supermarket
• Lead on communications promoting the food drive
• Coordinate all logistics during the event
• Thank all donors for their contributions
• Coordinate the transport to get the food to the food bank.

About you
• Excellent communication skills
• Organised and self-motivated
• Passionate about the work of the Trussell Trust

Impact of the role
We cannot state strongly enough how important food donations are to our food banks. Without the boxes, packets and cans of items being regularly donated across the UK we simply wouldn’t be able to run. And as we face an ever increasing demand for our services, so the value of food donations grows. Your food donations will go directly to people in need in your local community, making a direct and real impact.

IMPORTANT: HOW TO ORGANISE A FOOD DRIVE

1. Contact your local Trussell Trust food bank to find out what’s on their most wanted list as well as finding out if there are any items they have a surplus off.
2. Agree the location of your food collection. Make sure you have permission from your manager/community group to host a food drive. Work out with them exactly where the collection will take place – ideally you’re looking for somewhere central like the entrance hall so that it’s as easy as possible for people to find and drop off their donations.
3. Select the dates of your food drive. We advise hosting the food drive for 1 or 2 weeks, so people have a specific amount of time to donate items and it remains fresh in their minds.
4. Make sure you have something to gather the donations in. Speak to your local supermarket and see if they would be able to donate a trolley or basket for the duration of your food drive. Seeing a trolley in the entrance hall can be a great reminder for people to bring in their donations. Decorate the area with our food drive poster.
5. Promote your food drive. Making sure people know about your food drive and what they need to do is absolutely crucial to its success. People like to be informed about how they can make a difference.
6. Make sure you circulate our food list to everyone so they know what to give.
7. Collect items! Having set up your food drive and promoted to all, you can take a break whilst you watch the collections come in. Every few days send a message to all – thanking those who have donated and reminding those yet to do so that there’s still time to give.

After the event
Once your food drive has finished, box or bag up the food as best you can and contact your local foodbank to agree the best day and time for you to drop off the food.
Finally, remember to get in touch with everyone letting them know:
• How much was collected
• Where the food has gone
• How grateful the food bank is for their support
