Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer collections driver!

  • 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

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.
