Volunteer with Foodbank Queensland
The Foodbank team is small and we rely heavily on teams and individuals who generously give their time to help us get food to the people who need it. We have different volunteer opportunities available in each state, if you would like to volunteer select your state below:
Individual Volunteering
Volunteering is an amazing gift to your community
By joining the Foodbank Queensland team as a volunteer, you will make a direct and positive community impact – helping us to get food to thousands of families every week. Your support will give food and hope to someone going without.
Our volunteer shifts are generally 4 hours per week and are in-person at the Foodbank Queensland Food Distribution Centre, Morningside, Brisbane. We offer a variety of volunteers roles from administration and customer service roles, to driving and warehouse work.
As of April 2025, we are now offering volunteering positions at our Townsville, Mount St John, Food Distribution Centre. At this Distribution Centre, hamper packing volunteer roles are available.
Corporate Volunteering Programs
Currently due to high demand, Corporate Volunteering is available exclusively for Foodbank Queensland’s Corporate Partners.
Foodbank’s Corporate Partnerships are built around a customised package aligned with your company’s mission and objectives to give back to the community.
