Pet Food Bank Volunteer
Stroud
We are looking for friendly, empathic volunteers to run our pet food bank, helping more animals stay with their families. The food bank is at Starbucks in Stroud town centre from 10am on the third Thursday of the month.
What you'll be doing:
Costs for pet insurance, food, and vet bills have soared over recent years, and every day we receive calls from people no longer able to afford their pet's care. To try and help keep animals in their homes with their own people, we run a pet food bank to provide people with dog or cat food.
You'll talk to people about their animals, offer support and hand out food. There's no means testing and food is available to all who ask. We will provide all you need to run the food bank including the food, leaflets and charity shop vouchers.
What you'll need:
- A friendly, non-judgemental manner
- A good listener, able to talk to others in a sensitive way
- A desire to help people and their pets
What we can offer you:
- An induction, ongoing support, and training
- The chance to meet new people and make a difference in your community
- Gain experience, learn new skills, and make a difference to animals
- A reference for employment or studying
- A dedicated volunteer coordinator for check ins and support
