Some examples of the ways in which your company can support Voedselbank Amsterdam:
Financial support of a project or with the purchase of equipment
For example, you can sponsor an IT project or help facilitate the purchase of a new delivery van or forklift.
Financial support in the coverage of our regular expenses
We can always use help in covering the cost of things like transportation, maintenance, real estate and energy bills.
Support us directly with equipment and other materials
We regularly need equipment from forklifts and vans to crates and computers. I you have any materials to spare, we would love to hear from you!
Collections among employees
You can place a charity collection box at your company or donate money to Voedselbank Amsterdam directly. You can also organise a charity collection where your employees donate to Voedselbank Amsterdam directly through a link or QR code. We can help you track the donations (without collecting personal data). Or you might organise a special event like a run or a bicycle race and donate the proceeds to Voedselbank Amsterdam.
Would you like to organize something else? We’d love to hear your plans. Please contact our fundraising department at fondsenwerving@voedselbank.org or call us at 020 – 638 44 77
Sharing knowledge and CSR experience
You can also support us in other ways by donating you knowledge and experience, for example by offering your services free of charge whether you are a lawyer, accountant, caterer or printer.
Donating food
You can help us a great deal by donating food, both by collecting food among your employees and – if you are a food supplier – by donating surplus food.
Because we don’t buy any food ourselves, we are fully dependent on donations in this regard. We are always in need of dry groceries and canned foods: things like pasta, rice, soup, coffee, tea, cereals, spreads and vegetable oils. If you need more information, please contact us via info@voedselbank.org
You can help us most by delivering the food yourself. This is possible on Monday through Friday between 9:00 and 16:00 at our warehouse on Archangelkade 11 in Amsterdam. Good to know: we have fork lifts, but no loading decks. Please contact us beforehand to make sure we can receive your food donation, by phone on 020 638 44 77.
Corporate Flex Programme
Voedselbank Amsterdam) maintains a Corporate Flex Programme for companies that wish to send small groups of employees to volunteer on an occasional basis. Shifts take place on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 till 13:00. We have room for 6 to 8 employees per shift
The activities consist of the preparation of food parcels for distribution at our warehouse in the Houthavens area (Archangelkade 11, 1013 BE Amsterdam). Activities are scheduled several months in advance, but occasionally shifts will also come available on shorter term.
Due to the nature of our logistics, we are not able to offer volunteering possibilities for larger groups and/or on other days.
Due to the large amount of interest for our Corporate Flex programme, we are currently unfortunately not able to accept any new applications. If you would like to be put on our waiting list, please let us know via corporateflex@voedselbank.org.
