Food Hub Volunteer (Retail Support)

Do you want to make a meaningful difference in your community? Foodbank SA & NT is looking for friendly, compassionate volunteers to join our Port Lincoln Food Hub team. This is a rewarding opportunity to lend a helping hand, meet great people, and play an important role in supporting individuals and families who need it most. Your time and energy can help bring hope, dignity, and practical support to our local community.

Role Description

As a Foodbank Food Hub Volunteer, you will be part of a friendly team helping deliver good food to South Australians and Northern Territorians experiencing hardship. Our Food Hubs are designed to feel like a small supermarket, giving individuals and families the opportunity to choose the food they need in a welcoming and respectful environment.

In this role, every smile, conversation, stocked shelf and helping hand contributes to someone feeling supported during a difficult time. You will not only help keep the Food Hub running smoothly — you will help create an experience where clients feel seen and supported.

What you will do

• Welcome and assist clients with kindness, patience, and respect
• Help process client shops using the computer system
• Unload, sort and organise stock deliveries
• Restock shelves so clients can easily find the food and groceries they need
• Work alongside a small, supportive team to create a positive Food Hub experience.

This role may be perfect for you if you

• Enjoy meeting people and making them feel welcome
• Are compassionate, reliable, and respectful of client confidentiality
• Like working as part of a friendly, hands-on team
• Can support people from diverse backgrounds with empathy and understanding
• Are comfortable with some light and occasional heavy lifting.

Requirements

A National Police Check is required. If you do not already have one, we can help you obtain it.
