Park for a Purpose is Foodbank WA’s newest fundraising event, which will be raising vital funds for our next Mobile Foodbank. For many people, a car, a caravan or a tent is the final safety net before homelessness. This event exists to help people before they reach that point.
In the lead up to the event, we are looking for some helping hands to assist with preparing materials, food and logistics. These sessions will support the smooth delivery of the event and help ensure a great experience for participants on the day.
This opportunity is ideal for corporate teams who enjoy practical tasks, working together and contributing to a larger purpose.
