Get involved

Give two hours. Or a 5 a.m. Or a skill.

Three formats, and we are honest about all of them: a serving shift is two hours and will stay with you, a kitchen shift starts before dawn and is real work, and remote roles come with a brief and a deadline. All three beat a one-off visit with a camera.

Three ways in

Pick the one you can actually sustain

A queue at a gate depends on people turning up. Choose the format you can actually sustain — coming once honestly beats promising every week and vanishing.

Serving shift

About 2 hours · At the hospital gate

Hand over 500 meals with the team. The easiest way in and the one that changes how you see the city. Come once with no commitment; if you want a regular slot, pick a consistent day so the route can rely on you.

Kitchen shift

From 5 a.m. · Before the route leaves

Prep, cook, pack and load. It starts early and it is real work. A short food-safety briefing comes first, and closed footwear is not optional.

Skills volunteering

Project-based · Remote

Design, data, accounting, legal, translation, photography and video. We scope the work properly, give you a brief and a deadline, and credit you publicly.

Questions before you apply

Yes, and it is the easiest way in. A serving shift is about two hours at the hospital gate. We also need kitchen support from 5 a.m., and remote help with design, data, accounting and translation. Every volunteer completes a short orientation and a food-safety briefing.

For serving and kitchen shifts, no — come once and see. If you want a regular slot we ask for a consistent day so the route can rely on you. Remote and skills roles are project-scoped with an agreed deadline.
