Werken bij Voedselbanken

This website is the central volunteer recruitment platform for the Vereniging Voedselbanken Nederland (the umbrella organization based in Houten) and most large food banks in the Netherlands. It lists 77 current unpaid volunteer positions at 177 local food banks and 10 distribution centers nationwide. All roles are unpaid, as the organization operates exclusively with volunteers.

You can search vacancies by keyword and filter by location (many Dutch cities and regions are listed) and field of expertise, such as logistics, administration, communication, ICT, or food safety. Some vacancies specify weekly hours, for example 4–8 or 8–16 hours per week. The work is described as flexible, with options to work at home or on location. You can also sign up for a job alert to receive new vacancies by email.

The food banks distribute collected food for free to people in the Netherlands who temporarily cannot support themselves, and aim to combat food waste. The site is practical for anyone looking to volunteer in this mission, with clear filtering and alert tools to find a suitable role.
