At The Second Door, we recognize the value of the forgotten and the timeworn, offering unique pre-loved items, as well as those that never even made it off the shelf. You will find an array of new, used and slightly bruised items for home, kitchen and personal use. With the assistance of volunteers, donated items are turned into funds that the food bank uses for food and operational costs —every purchase helps to support those in the community who need it most.
Service & Care Volunteers support the Client Services team in providing Emergency Food Assistance. This involves supporting clients while ensuring a welcoming, inclusive and accessible environment. Duties include tasks such as greeting clients and updating files, fulfilling hamper orders, facilitating pick room access and empowering clients while decreasing barriers to services. These tasks are done safely and effectively through detailed processes while adhering to food safety guidelines.

Volunteer Advocates support the Service & Care Team by working with the Client Advocacy Coordinator to provide information, referrals and community connections to help address the underlying issues that are placing individuals in need of food bank supports. Duties include providing referrals, assisting clients with applications, appointments and systems navigation, and general administrative duties to maintain client files. Advocacy roles require an understanding of local community resources, a familiarity with vulnerable populations with complex issues, and a commitment to providing services with upmost dignity.
