St. Merkorious Charity / Volunteer Driver – Collections

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer collections driver! Our collections drivers head to various locations – such as food warehouses and donors – to collect goods and bring them back to our warehouse in South Strathfield for packaging and cooking. We’re understaffed, so every act of kindness helps!

  • Current full driver licence
  • Excellent driving record
  • Ability to use technology (e.g. tablets, smartphones with GPS) to navigate scheduled trips
  • Confident driving a large van
  • Ability to communicate effectively with different people

Responsibilities

  • Pick up donated food from Flemington Markets
  • Delivery food to Merkorious Charity warehouse for preparation
  • Pick up donations from other locations as directed
  • Carry out regular basic vehicle inspections as well as re-fuelling, and inform staff of any issues

Commitment Requested

A minimum of 3 hours on a weekday is requested between 7.00 am – 12.00 pm Monday-Friday. A minimum commitment of 3 months requested.

The rostering of hours and days will be negotiated to meet the availability of the volunteer and the needs of the service.
