The Felix Project Poplar: Saturday afternoon volunteering session

The Felix Project warehouse in Poplar, East London rely on volunteers 6 days a week to sort and manage donated food, deliver food directly in vans, and complete administrative tasks.

"Our Poplar warehouse is our newest (and biggest!) operation yet, spacious enough to rescue and deliver 2,780 tonnes of food every year – that’s equivalent to 6.5 million meals!"

The team are keen to have as many GoodGymers join these Saturday sessions as possible!

What this involves

• This task will be overseen by the Felix Project team, who are very familiar with volunteers.

• Activity will include: checking ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ dates; categorising and recording food; assembling food orders placed by charity and community groups. You may also be based outside in the warehouse.

• We have listed these sessions in two-hour time slots as this is the minimum time commitment, but you are welcome to stay longer.

• Feel free to take a few pics and scribble a few lines for a run report (we'd love to see how you got on, and we'll aim to include it in our weekly email :) )

• Regular GoodGymer Lobo also known as Ricky there, volunteers at the depot most Saturdays, so any problems, you can also ask for him while on-site.
