Overview
FoodCycle is looking for volunteers (unpaid) for our various Projects in Newcastle!
We are FoodCycle, and our vision is to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community. With community dining, week in, week out we feed the hungry and give company to the lonely in our communities; providing delicious meals and great conversation, and using food which would otherwise go to waste.
Do you love cooking? Do you love meeting new people?
We're looking for volunteers who can join the cooking or hosting team.
We have different volunteer roles:
1. Hosts: to welcome guests, and serve teas/coffees and the delicious 3 course meal. Help create a warm, friendly atmosphere
2. Cooks: to wash, chop and prepare a meal from our surplus food
3. Drivers: to collect the surplus food and drop it off at the venue before the meal. This is during the day and take less than an hour.
Each session is guided by our wonderful Project Leaders who will show you what to do. We want to be able to keep up with the demand in the area and so it's only with your help we can keep going!
As a volunteer, there is no miniumum commitment, and you can come to one or any of the Projects (as long as you sign up first).
