Kyneton Foodbank is looking for more volunteers to help meet the growing needs of the Kyneton community.
The foodbank is only one part of the organisation, with the service operating an op shop, drop in space, soup kitchen and crisis relief for people in the Macedon Ranges
Manager Grant Harper said anyone who wants to help and volunteer is welcome.
“There’s a number of areas we have; the foodbank itself, the soup kitchen, the sorting area and there’s the op shop at the front,” he said.
“There’s a number of areas where people may prefer to work and we’re basically wanting to populate the organisation with volunteers.”
Across the foodbank’s many areas, Mr Harper says there’s bound to be a role that would suit just about anybody.
“I think it’s an opportunity to contribute to the community and to help those that need assistance,” he said.
“There are people for whom there is a need and we are trying to be that need so people that need a feed can get one from us.”
Mr Harper said the foodbank has about 1000 people on the books who receive help in Kyneton, so volunteers and donations are always needed to ensure the foodbank and its other services run.
“We accept donations of food, and for the op shop we accept donations of clothes,” he said.
“We have a couple of large blue wheelie bins which are at the foodbank entrance.”
