As a coordinator at the Vallei & Veluwe Animal Food Bank Foundation, you are a true jack-of-all-trades and a spider in the web!
You are the first point of contact for the location managers and volunteers of a number of distribution locations, and you support the senior coordinator.
We currently have five distribution locations, but we'll coordinate the number of locations you'll be responsible for together. You'll be coached by the senior coordinator. Together with the senior coordinator, the location managers, and volunteers, you'll ensure everything is organized at the distribution points to ensure the biweekly distribution runs smoothly. You'll be the link between the board, the location managers, and the volunteers at the locations.
What responsibilities do you have?
- You'll be responsible for your assigned locations (growing as you gain experience). You'll also serve as backup for the senior coordinator for the other locations.
- You are the first point of contact for the location managers and volunteers of the assigned locations;
- 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 distribution materials;
- You're a true jack-of-all-trades. Besides the aforementioned tasks, you'll also work with the senior coordinator to manage the central warehouse in Wageningen. You'll also assist with PR activities such as distributing flyers as needed. You'll collect large donations (either together or individually), and occasionally visit the Dierenlot Foundation.
- You perform various manual and supporting duties 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 these are not followed;
- Identifying new developments at the locations and taking action where necessary;
- Attend meetings such as general meetings, location management meetings and (internal) events as much as possible.
We are looking for:
- Someone who recognizes themselves in and acts according to our core values: Reliable, helpful and committed;
- Someone with courage, who is confident and, when necessary, dares to engage in discussions, both internally within our foundation and externally with our clients;
- 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 foundation's mission and vision to volunteers and our clients;
- Someone with a great solution-oriented ability;
- Someone with a driver's license and their own transportation. However, our foundation's transportation can also be used upon request.
What do we offer you?
- A great and rewarding volunteer position at a fantastic foundation with committed volunteers;
- Annual outings, presents and meetings;
- You can take interesting courses and training for free through the Dierenlot Academy and other volunteer organizations;
- You are collectively insured through the municipality.
Does this sound appealing and would you like to work for the foundation? Then we're looking for you!

About Stichting Dierenvoedselbank Vallei & Veluwe
Animal Food Bank Vallei en Veluwe is a charity that has been committed to helping people in that region who live below the poverty line with their pet(s) since 2016, and who are therefore unable to fully feed and care for their pet(s). A group that often lives in social isolation and for whom the pet is of great emotional value.
We provide additional pet food and pet supplies so that owners can keep and care for their pet responsibly. In addition, we 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. As a result, more than 500 times a separation for financial reasons between owner and pet has been prevented in recent years. Animal Food Bank Vallei en Veluwe is not for profit, but does have ANBI status.
