We could not do what we do without the thousands of hours of work donated by our dedicated team of more than 100 volunteers! 

Thanks to their leadership, we are able to consistently provide nutritious and fresh food to those in our community who need it most. We thank each and every one of our volunteers for the work they do on a weekly basis. They are the reason our programs run so smoothly every single week! 

If you are interested in volunteering with us, please see below for current opportunities:

(NOTE: The list below is current and up to date. Nourish East End does not keep a volunteer waiting list.)

Leslieville Farmers’ Market Volunteer Drivers

From Sunday, May 10th to Sunday, October 25th, Nourish East End will require the help of volunteer drivers for the Leslieville Farmers’ Market (Greenwood Park). Volunteers will be asked to collect all donated produce and Nourish East End materials from the booth volunteers at the end of each market day (shift runs from approximately 1:30pm to 2:30pm), drive them back to the food bank, and ensure their proper storage.

The Farmers’ Market runs on every Sunday from May 10th to October 25th (including long weekends), and we ask that applicants sign up for a minimum of 4 shifts. Applicants should also be able to lift up to 50lbs. 

To apply to be a volunteer driver, please contact Marie at nourishvolunteers@eastendunited.ca, with “LFM Driver Application” in the subject line. 

Wednesday Food Bank Attendants:

We’re sorry, our Wednesday volunteer roster is currently full. Please check again soon!

Group Volunteering:

The Nourish East End food bank is a market-style food bank; as such, we do not pack hampers to distribute to our clients. This reduces our capacity to be able to welcome groups who wish to organize team volunteering events. 

To discuss how your team could contribute to Nourish East End, please contact Ryan at nourishresources@eastendunited.ca.
