About the volunteering opportunity

The Green Week is the best-known food fair in Germany and offers a diverse range of international foods. After the fair closes, a great deal of food remains with the exhibitors, waiting to be rescued. The Berliner Tafel has set itself the task of collecting the leftover food with volunteers every evening from 20.01.2023 to 29.01.2023 and urgently needs support. The collection will start at 17:15. On Friday, 01/27/2023, Mass will end two hours later, so the outreach will not begin until 7:15pm. The mission will last approximately 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.
