General Volunteer
2 weeks ago
About the role:
We're looking for friendly people who want to help nourish the hungry and lonely in their local community with delicious meals and great conversation, using food which would otherwise go to waste.
We have 3 different volunteer roles to choose from:
- Surplus Food Collection: ensure that your weekly FoodCycle session has a regular supply of food, by picking up surplus food donations from partner supermarkets and local retailers and dropping it off at your local Project venue ready for cooking.
- Cooking: join the kitchen team to help produce a three-course vegetarian meal using surplus food. You'll contribute to recipe ideas, help with prepping the food, cooking the meal, and of course clearing up afterwards
- Hosting: help to create a warm, welcoming environment and reduce hunger and loneliness in your community by prepping the venue, serving a delicious meal and sharing in conversation with our guests.
You don't need to have any previous experience, you just need to get stuck in
