Volunteering

Food Deliveries

What is needed: Picking up and delivering parcels of food.

The charity ask that this is done by car. Obviously this is not the normal GoodGym mode of transport, but these are not normal times! We suggest pledging to take your daily run, walk or bike ride before or after making the delivery.

How to volunteer: Click here to sign up to the Maidenhead Coronavirus Response group on Facebook. Foodshare post requests for support on this group as and when they receive them.

Cooking Meals

What is needed: Cooking meals to be frozen for the foodbank parcels

How to volunteer: Contact the charity at frozen_meals@foodshare.today

Street Collections

What is needed: Setting up and managing a food collection point in your street

How to volunteer: Contact maidenheadfood@gmail.com for more details and to register. NOTE The charity have had a great response to their plea to set these up and now have more than 90. They don't want too many boxes on the same streets so check the map and only volunteer if you see a gap in your area.
