Bristol Goods Food Sorting Volunteer (St Paul's)

Caring in Bristol’s Food Project’s goal is to use food as vehicle to support people with experience of homelessness maintain their tenancy. Through a variety of interventions, the project aims to support people in the areas of community integration, financial stability, knowledge of available services, confidence and self-esteem, and food security.

This role is key to ensuring we have the food we need for our service-users to choose from at our pantry-style drop-in sessions. It involves assisting staff in the Caring in Bristol van to do an 11am pick up at the nearby FareShare warehouse, then helping sort and categorise the food. The role is under the supervision of our Project Manager or Project Coordinator and involves no direct service-user contact.

NB: This role involves some heavy lifting of crates of food items and may not be suitable for those who may be infirm or pregnant
