Why we exist and how you can help

Bright Food Co-op is proudly community-powered

Every jar labelled, every order packed, every smiling face at the counter reflects the time and care of locals who choose to get involved.

While we now have a part-time coordinator to help manage stock and weekly ordering, it’s still our volunteers who bring the Co-op to life. Their generosity, energy, and sense of purpose shape everything we do.

Volunteering is how this place works, and how it stays rooted in connection, contribution, and care. Whether you can spare an hour a month or a regular weekly shift, we’d love to have you involved.

Ways to help

  • Shop shifts

  • Packing online orders

  • Admin & behind-the-scenes

  • Cleaning / labelling

  • Event help / outreach

“I love volunteering with like minded people who care about community and enjoy nourishing food grown locally by caring producers. The benefits to me are SO much more than a few hours a week! Every single day, each meal, I know I am contributing to a better world and improving my well-being with every mouthful, it makes me happy. From humble beginnings in our small town and hopefully inspiring others to join in and experience improved wellness, fun and a vibrant community supporting the most important people on our planet…the producers.”

“Volunteering at the co-op allows me to support something that I care deeply about - supporting local growers and producers. Plus, there's the benefit of helping to keep this wonderful organisation going and meeting like-minded people.”
