In big cities like Lisbon, there’s been an increase in homelessness and families struggling to make ends meet. But together, we can make a difference! This project aims to tackle food waste and help feed those in need. It’s a win-win situation: good food doesn’t go to waste, hungry people get a meal, and everyone can pitch in to make a positive impact on our community

Your role in this project is vital. You’ll be collecting surplus food from restaurants, preparing meals, and delivering them to families in Lisbon. Along the way, you’ll help keep things organized and clean to ensure everything runs smoothly.

During your time with us, you’ll work at least four hours a day, with flexibility in shifts. Safety and hygiene are paramount, so always wear hairnets or caps, wash your hands thoroughly, and follow any schedule changes advised by our coordinator. Most importantly, show respect to everyone you encounter and actively participate in our activities.

Tasks include:

• Help and assist in food basket preparations.
• Prepare Food Ingredients.
• Organize and store the food donated.
• Serve meals to local people.
• Maintaining cooking equipment and storage clean.
• Maintaining kitchen areas clean and sanitised.

Remember, alcohol is not allowed during your time here, and always bring water to stay hydrated. Let’s make the most of this experience and create lasting memories while making a difference in the lives of others.
