Volunteering FAQs
The day typically starts at 8.30am with an overview of the position and a safety briefing and concludes at approximately 3.00 pm.
All volunteers must wear steel caps boots and shirts with sleeves. Corporate volunteers can wear sturdy enclosed shoes if they do not have steel cap boots. We recommend long jeans for safety and comfort.
We provide all volunteers with high-visibility vests or aprons if working in the Community Kitchen.
In winter the warehouse gets cold, so it is a good idea to bring a jacket or light pullover.
You can bring your own lunch or there is a lunch bar approximately 400 metres from the Perth branch on Grogan Road. We have a volunteer kitchen with tea and coffee facilities.
