Our weekend volunteer sessions happen on an ad hoc basis. You can subscribe to our volunteer mailing list to receive email updates of new volunteer sessions if you have not yet done so.

How do I get my Volunteer ID?

An email containing your Volunteer ID will be sent to the email address that you signed up with on the Volunteer Portal. Please wait 3 – 5 working days for the email.

Does Food from the Heart provide a letter of proof of the hours I have volunteered?

Yes, you will need to have volunteered with us for a minimum of 10 hours before a letter of participation is issued upon request.

Do I need to attend a volunteer’s briefing beforehand?

Not all volunteer events require you to attend a briefing. Typically, only our Bread Run programme or larger-scale events require a volunteer briefing. In those cases, an email will be sent with the briefing details.

If you volunteered to do food sorting or packing in our warehouse, the briefing will be done on the day itself.
