About the volunteering opportunity
We rescue food every day, of which we naturally want to pass on as much as possible to people living in poverty in Berlin and dispose of as little as possible. That's why we need your support!
You will first receive a short introduction and can then get straight down to work together with many other volunteers.
Your Tasks
During our after-work shifts, you sort surplus food in our hall together with other helpers. We work together in a relaxed atmosphere to ensure that good food doesn't end up in the garbage can.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.
You should be at least 18 years old , have a basic level of physical fitness, be interested in working with food and have no reservations about coming into contact with goods that are no longer edible. You should also be able to proactively approach other employees and ask them for advice if you have already completed your task.
What to bring
We can provide you with the following materials for health and safety at work:
- Medical mask: surgical or FFP2 mask
- Disinfectant
- Disposable gloves
- Safety shoes with steel toe caps
- Plastic bibs, aprons or green Berliner Tafel T-shirts to wear over your clothes as protection.
Please bring clothes that can get dirty and have socks with you, as you will be given work shoes.
Food will be provided during the assignment!
