About the volunteering opportunity
Are you between 18 and 35 years old and looking for some camaraderie, good conversation, and a relaxed evening? Then come to our Tafel Youth After-Work Shift!
Whether you come alone or bring friends—let’s pitch in together, chat, listen to music, and have a good time. 🎶
Every day, we rescue food—and of course, we want to pass on as much of it as possible to people affected by poverty in Berlin and throw away as little as possible. That’s why we need your help!
