Would you like to be part of a team collecting food waste from local supermarkets?
The Waterside Food Project collects food nearing its Best Before or Use by Date from local supermarkets everyday of the week. We need drivers to join our team. Picks up are from supermarkets in the Waterside area and from Southampton.
We need drivers who have flexibility to cover rounds when our regular drivers aren't available.
Collections tend to be between 8 and 9pm and you will drop the food at our site in Blackfield ready for distribution. Volunteers are able to take free food as a thank you, before it goes out on display.
What skills do I need?
To volunteer for this role you will need:
- At least one evening a week free to support the project.
- A car insured for volunteering use (please check with your insurer).
- To be able to lift crates of vegetables, fruit and bread.
- To have a car with good boot space as collections can be large.
- Enjoy being part of a team.
