WANT TO BECOME A FOOD FRIENDS VOLUNTEER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR COMMUNITY?
HOW IT WORKS
COOK
Do you cook too much? Rather than popping that spare meal in the bin, or freezing it with good intention, sign up as a volunteer cook and do something great with that plate!
SHARE
We will match you with a neighbour who enjoys the same type of food as you, who would benefit from your meal and a friendly doorstep chat. The majority of cooks share an extra portion of their home cooked food once a week. However, the volunteering role is flexible, with many volunteers delivering less frequently or more often.
CARE
The gift of a meal is so much more than the ingredients on a plate. It’s nourishment beyond nutrition because it brings kindness and connection. As your food friendship grows you may find yourself having a chat over a cup of tea or sending a postcard whilst on holiday.
We always ask that you let us know if you have any concerns or worries about your Food Friend. We are here to support you in your food friendship, from making sure that first meal delivery goes well to supporting you with any concerns you may have in the future.
We provide a unique volunteering opportunity for people with busy lives, built on people’s love of food, and its ability to connect those in a community who would otherwise never cross paths.
Once we receive your interest form, we will be in touch via email to get the ball rolling. The sign up process is quick and easy to fit around your hectic week.
