VOLUNTEERS WANTED
Our work may surprise you.
We need more volunteers to join our team so that we can continue the important work in the local community. We have vacancies for volunteers to assist us with food rescue and sorting and boxing up of non-food donations.
Every day kiwis find themselves in need: a mother and her children shifted to avoid family violence and needing support; children going hungry at school or others
down on their luck.
We have 80 volunteers who provide all the manpower required to run our operations and all donated food and goods that are fit for purpose are passed on to front line charities for FREE.
KCA is small; KCA is fast; KCA is flexible, and we help many in need.
Please note reliability and responsibility are key attributes that we require of our volunteers. All volunteers need to be able to lift 20kg boxes of food (between 2 people) and commit to volunteering with KCA for three months. To volunteer with KCA you must be 14 years old or more.
To learn more about your roles please go to our website where you can find the job descriptions. Our application form needs to be completed online.
Once we have received your application we will arrange an interview.
NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE.
