We currently have a total of five distribution locations, but we will agree together the number of locations under your responsibility. You will be coached by the senior coordinator.

- Keep track of (practical) questions from volunteers and ensure that they are answered;
- In consultation with the local team of volunteers, you support the locations in ensuring sufficient stock of dispensing materials;
- You are a true jack of all trades. In addition to the above-mentioned activities, you also maintain the central warehouse in Wageningen together with the senior coordinator. You also help with PR work such as handing out flyers. You collect large donations (together or alone), and every now and then you go to the Dierenlot Foundation;
- You perform various services every week, together with the senior coordinator;
- You are the connecting link between the board and the volunteers;
- You monitor the agreed processes, procedures and decisions and speak to people if this is not followed;

- Someone with a heart for pet welfare;
- Someone with flexible availability (everything in consultation);
- Someone for a longer period of time (at least 6 months);
- Someone with a lot of passion and 'hands-on' commitment;
- Someone with the power to convey the mission and vision of the foundation to the volunteers and our customers;
- Someone with a great solution-oriented ability;
- Someone with a driver's license and own transportation. However, our foundation's means of transport can also be used in consultation.
What do we offer you?

- Annual outings, presents and meetings;
- You can follow interesting courses and training for free through the Dierenlot academy and other volunteer organizations;

About Stichting Dierenvoedselbank Vallei & Veluwe
We provide additional pet food and pet supplies so that owners can keep and care for their pets responsibly. We also help our customers with advice, information and education, and we mediate where necessary.
With a helpful, reliable and committed team of volunteers, we work regionally from our distribution locations in Wageningen, Ede, Renkum, Rhenen and Veenendaal. This has prevented more than 500 farewells between owner and pet for financial reasons in recent years. Animal food bank Vallei en Veluwe is a non-profit organization, but it does have ANBI status.
