Volunteers on Wheels

Become a Flexible Volunteer at Volunteers on Wheels to help feed thousands!

Become a flexible volunteer at Volunteers on Wheels to help fight food insecurity and feed thousands of vulnerable people in your community! Who we are: At Volunteers on Wheels our mission is to alleviate food poverty and insecurity. Through our dedicated team of volunteers, we distribute vital supplies to food banks, ensuring they are able to help the thousands of vulnerable people who depend on their service. The valuable logistic service that we provide makes a real difference to people’s lives and currently enables the distribution of more than one million food parcels each year. There is a huge demand for our essential work and we welcome any and all involvement from those looking to make a difference in their community – if you cannot commit to regular involvement but would like to volunteer on an ad-hoc basis, please reach out to discuss getting involved in a way which works for you. How you can get involved: Drivers We are always seeking new drivers to help us run our vital collection and delivery service! As a driver you will play an essential role in our operation by using our vans to collect food/supplies and delivering them to the network of foodbanks we support. Our service operates Monday to Friday and drivers are needed from 8:30am (starting in Mill Hill NW7) to around lunchtime. To volunteer as a driver you will need is a valid license. We have both manual and automatic vans available. Assistants Our volunteer assistants accompany drivers on collection/delivery routes, helping to collect supplies and load/unload the vans. For our distribution service to run smoothly and reliably it is crucial that we have plenty of assistants available, so we are always looking for new volunteers to lend a hand! Our service operates Monday to Friday and assistants are needed from 8:30am (starting in Mill Hill NW7) to around lunchtime. Travel information: Our vans are located on Upper Page Street, Mill Hill, NW7 2BE There is free on-street parking available.

Volunteers on Wheels

Volunteers on Wheels (VoW) collects and delivers food and other essential goods in bulk, to and for, food banks in North/Northwest London, Middlesex, Harrow and Hertfordshire, and surrounding areas.

Food banks have limited volunteer numbers and say our transport logistics service is a “vital link in the chain distributing more than 1 million food parcels per year” to vulnerable members of our society struggling with food insecurity and poverty.

Our service provides 3 additional social community benefits in the form of:
- Reduced food wastage.
- Reduced fuel consumption.
- Reduced environmental impact.

VoW currently supports over 40 food banks who help more than 30,000 people per week.
