As a Surplus Food Collection volunteer you’ll play a vital part in making our community meals happen, by ensuring that your weekly FoodCycle session has a regular donation of food.
You’ll pick up surplus food donations from our partner supermarkets and local retailers, ensuring a prompt, reliable and friendly collection each week.
You’ll then bring the surplus food back to your local Project venue and store it securely.
You can do this on foot, by bike or by car!
You don’t need to have any previous experience – you just need to be passionate about reducing the amount of food that’s wasted in our society!
