Volunteers.

Do you want to volunteer?

If you are interested in helping out in some capacity, we would love to hear from you. The Kindness Collective only operates due to the significant involvement of a dedicated team of volunteers for whose support we are very grateful. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and personal circumstances and we are constantly amazed at the generosity of the people within our community.

You can make a difference by assisting in any of these roles.

  • sorting and stocking our foodbank shelves, fridges and freezers

  • preparing food to be distributed through the foodbank

  • picking up donated food from various sources, locally and in Melbourne and Bendigo

  • helping to sort and price the donated goods for the op shop

  • picking up donated goods for the op shop

  • helping maintain and upgrade the "TKC headquarters" building, to allow us to provide more support to our community

  • offering our foodbank clients a shoulder to lean on or simply someone to talk, to in our "drop-in centre"

  • helping with our fundraising activities, including writing grant applications for government and philanthropic grant programs

  • providing professional expertise in counselling and social work related skills, to enable us to refer our clients with needs beyond just a shortage of food, to other local agencies who can provide the help they need
