About the volunteering opportunity
From the manager to the housekeeper, a colorful team sorts an equally diverse selection of donated fruit and vegetables according to the principle of the five senses and valid food standards. You will first be given a short introduction and then you can get straight down to sorting the food together with other volunteers. The food will then be packed into bags so that it can be distributed to Berliners in need and refugees from Ukraine.
Of course, there will be a lunch break during which you will receive a free lunch :)
Your Tasks
Together with many volunteers, you are responsible for sorting donated food (mainly fruit and vegetables). The food bags are then packed for delivery to needy households.
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
