Special Events Volunteer

Raise food, funds, and awareness at community events.
Special events have a huge role to play in raising food and funds to support our work. From parades and concerts, to coat checks and barbecues, over 600 food drives and fundraisers are organized on our behalf each year.
As a special event volunteer, you’ll represent Feed Nova Scotia at a variety of events, engaging with the community to raise food and funds.

Warehouse Assistant Volunteer

Sorting the food that comes to our warehouse and preparing food orders for delivery to member agencies is a huge part of our operation. Working in our warehouse is a great opportunity to directly impact our mission, while building wonderful and lasting friendships!

As a warehouse assistant volunteer, you’ll inspect, clean, sort and box up food donations, while helping ensure we distribute safe and high quality food to our member agencies every day.

If you’re looking to share your time with us, please fill out the application form and we’ll be in touch with you within three to five business days.

Feed Nova Scotia and the network of members are located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq Peoples, and we acknowledge them as past, present, and future caretakers of this land. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. We are all Treaty people.

We acknowledge that African Nova Scotians have existed and persisted on the traditional land of the Mi’kmaq for more than 400 hundred years and their significant presence has contributed to the existence of Nova Scotia.

We are grateful to live and work in Mi’kma’ki.
