Volunteer: Kamloops Pet Food Bank Volunteer

INTRODUCTION

Four Paws Food Bank Foundation is a Registered Charity dedicated to supporting pets and their people during times of crisis. We believe that short-term hardship should not result in permanent surrender. We help keep people and pets together by providing support for pet food and supplies.

As a Pet Food Bank Volunteer, you play a key role in helping families and their pets stay together through difficult times. Your compassion and support create a welcoming space where people feel seen and cared for. In this role, you make a direct difference in keeping companion animals with the people who love them.

This is the right role for you if you are someone who:

Values working as part of a small, supportive team Feels compassion for people experiencing hardship and understands the importance in having a safe place to ask for help Believes in the positive impact of pets on communities and well-being Enjoys making a tangible difference in the lives of pets and their families Is organized, reliable, and enjoys hands-on, practical work

Pet Food Bank Volunteers’ main tasks are:
Work with a small team to set up the Tuesday evening food bank. Pick up supplies from storage and transport them to the food bank. Set up the food bank in a consistent manner as shown in training. Welcome clients, assist with sign-in, and provide food, pet supplies, and other items based on need. Record all distributed pet food and supplies on the Food Bank log. Assist new clients with registration forms as needed. Provide friendly, respectful service while supporting clients’ individual needs. Help maintain tidy and organized storage areas. Pack up and put everything away once the food bank closes. Engage in Facebook Group for setting up Rosters / provide availability by email or text

Training and experience:
All potential volunteers are asked to schedule one shift to see if the role is a good fit. Once confirmed, volunteers receive more on-site training. No prior experience is required, though familiarity with pets and compassion for families in crisis is beneficial.

Some volunteers help pick up supplies/do deliveries, so drivers license is a huge benefit, but not required! There is still plenty to help with if you do not drive.

Time commitment
We ask that volunteers commit to a minimum of three hours per month for six months.

Volunteering in this role offers you: Hands-on experience working in a community-focused, supportive environment The satisfaction of making a real, positive impact on families and their pets Opportunities to build teamwork, communication, and organizational skills

Successful applicants will:

- Agree to an interview by phone

- Complete Compassionate Neighbours orientation process

- Submit a clean police information check (can be completed online via iVolunteer or you can contact us for a form to submit to the local RCMP office - Canadian citizenship is required for this)
