Help people in need —and get a free workout at the same time!
Join us in distributing food bags to people in need. At the same time, you’ll get your body moving and a boost of energy. It’s a meaningful way to help both yourself and others.
Being a food bag volunteer involves:
- shifts between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM
- before the food is delivered, helping with breakfast preparation and/or setting up the dining hall for distribution
- when it’s time: receiving the food carts upon delivery and bringing them into the café
- carrying all boxes and food items to their designated locations
- packing the food bag
- distributing the food bags at the tables to guests in exchange for a numbered ticket
- folding up the boxes, disposing of them in the recycling, and cleaning up where the food boxes were
- once distribution is complete: mingling with guests on the floor
This assignment requires that you are able to carry relatively heavy boxes and handle stress well, as it can get very crowded and hectic.
With us, you’ll meet people you might otherwise never come into contact with. This fosters a greater respect for others and a sense of belonging in the community.
Our stated mission is “We make a difference,” so come and make a difference with us!
Minimum commitment
Volunteer shifts are on Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We are primarily looking for regular volunteers, but we also have a system that lets you step in when needed and/or whenever you’re available.
When and where the opportunity takes place
Our café is located at Blecktornsgränd 13, near the Mariatorget subway station. The assignment is open for as long as you’d like to join us and make a difference!
