Job Description

FoodCycle is looking for

food collection volunteers (unpaid)

to collect and drop off food for our project in Leeds!

Without the amazing work of our thousands of volunteers across the country, FoodCycle simply wouldn't be possible.

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 have a couple of hours free on Thursdays?

We're looking for volunteers who can join our team to collect food from the surplus food depot in Holbeck (LS11) between 10am and noon, and drop it off at our meal in

Harehills on Thursdays (LS8) by 12noon.

The venue is around 3 miles from the food depot, and the food can be collected in a car. You don't need a van!

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 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! You will need access to a car and hold a full UK driving license, a road-worthy vehicle, up to date road tax, MOT certificate and fully comprehensive insurance.
