On the rota
We need volunteers to be on a (usually fortnightly) rota to pack up and deliver food parcels and/or man the mobile phone to receive requests for parcels from various agencies and pass them on to the Food Bank volunteers who are on the rota to deliver them that day or the next.

Collecting donations
Some volunteers may be needed to pick up donated food items from the collection points around Wantage and Grove and deliver them to the food bank store, and/or date them and count them into the stock.
