Warehouse Donations Assitant

Boomerangs Pet Foodbank’s mission is that no pet goes hungry due to their owner’s financial circumstances. We support a network of community organisations, including foodbanks, community pantries, churches and welfare agencies with regular deliveries of pet food. Our community partners rely on our support when people are facing hardship and come to them for help.

Our Volunteer Donations Assistants help manage the incoming donations and preparation of food for distribution. This vital role ensures our community partners get a consistent supply of pet food to give out, which helps to keep pets with their families. We would love you to join us in helping more pets and people in need.
