Community Food Hub Volunteer

West Sussex County Council and Biffa are partnering with UKHarvest to host a community food hub once a month where, for a suggested small donation, people will be able to pick up a wide selection of surplus foods which would have otherwise ended up as waste from suppliers.

What is a community food hub?

Help to fight food waste at our community food hub.

Community food hubs are open to all residents, you do not need a referral (that some food banks require) and are designed to help rescue food from suppliers that would otherwise have gone to waste.

Residents can access affordable food, learn low-cost cooking and find support on a range of social issues.

How can you help?

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who can help to unload, and setup food on tables, engage with attendees in a polite and positive manner,  assisting with sharing of the rescued food and helping with packing up.  Full training will be provided. 

What skills do I need?

Some lifting may be involved.   Trolley is available.   Ability to engage with people in a friendly positive way. 

When do I need to be available?

Details

The Community Food Hub runs on the third Wednesday each month, between 10am to 11am. Help with setup from 9.15am, and closedown by 11.15am.
