It is closing its Glenroi Community Centre operations on Thursday September 19 and shifting to a new base at 142 March Street.

FoodCare president Anne Hopwood said it was also extending the opening hours from the current Tuesday and Thursday mornings to also open on Wednesday mornings (all 10.30am-1pm) and on Thursday afternoons (4.30pm-6pm).

Ms Hopwood said they would continue to provide transport for people seeking to use the facility on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

However, she said the organisation needed more volunteers to help the current crew of 50 people operate the food relief and food rescue operation.

"We are looking for more [volunteers] because we will be open more," she said.

She said anyone interested in volunteering should attend an information day at the new headquarters on Wednesday September 25 from 10.30am-noon.

"There are a number of roles. There is working in the shop, collecting food rescued from supermarkets and there is driving the bus," she said.

Ms Hopwood said the hours were flexible.

"In the shop people work one week on, one week off," she said.

FoodCare sells food at a substantially discounted rate to people in need.

Ms Hopwood said some food was collected from the major supermarkets, local orchardists and even donated by home gardeners who had surplus produce.

It also buys food from Foodbank Australia which has a large warehouse in Sydney.

Ms Hopwood said the move to the CBD was intended to make FoodCare more accessible to people in Orange.

"We were very happy to be in Glenroi. But we do feel a central location is better for people who use us and need us," she said.

"It is hard to get to Glenroi on public transport. It is not so hard to get to the centre of the city on public transport."

Ms Hopwood said the move had been aided by three organisations, Newcrest's Cadia mine, The Agrestic Grocer and Clubs NSW donating $23,000.

Cadia spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien said they donated $10,000 after hearing of the "great work" FoodCare had done in Glenroi.

The money has helped provide shelving and fitting-out of the March Street store.
