URGENT: Request for Food Aid Volunteers Over the Festive Period

The Felix Project in London is calling out for urgent volunteers in support roles for the following key tasks over the Christmas period:

Key Tasks:

• Van Drivers (C1 Driving Licence required)
• Co-Driver (to support loading and unloading of food pallets)
• Warehouse Operative (packing and sorting)
• All locations are based in London
• Total number of volunteers urgently needed in London: 70+

Urgency Over the Festive Period:

• Volunteers are needed urgently to avoid food being wasted.
• The busiest period is expected to be 27-31 Dec when there is a drop-off in volunteer numbers.
• The busiest day will be 27 Dec, when a large volume of donated food will be given by various suppliers as they open after the festive holiday. This will be the busiest day for all the operation centres.
• If volunteers are not available, a lot of food will go out of date and into waste bins, which is a real shame given we are all tackling the cost-of-living crisis.
