Surplus Food Volunteer - Collections & Delivery - Chelmsford

About the role

FoodCycle volunteers are welcoming and committed people who want to create delicious meals and lasting relationships within their community.

As a surplus food volunteer, you’ll be playing a vital part in making our community meals happen. You’ll pick up surplus food collections from our partner supermarkets and local retailers, insuring a prompt, reliable and friendly collection each week. You’ll then bring the surplus food back to our project and store it securely. You can do this on foot, my bike or by car!
