Community Supermarket Volunteer

Uttlesford Community Action Network (UCAN) in partnership with, The Active Wellbeing Society are setting up a mobile community supermarket, to combine the fight against food waste, food poverty and social isolation. We are looking for volunteers to make this possible.

Along with a supervisor, Community Supermarket Volunteers will support the smooth running of the mobile supermarket and operating of a mobile shop-like model where customers pay a small fee for the food they purchase.

Volunteering will involve a range of tasks:

• Sorting food/surplus stock.
  
• Setting up the mobile supermarket.
• Welcoming and serving customers.
• Clearing away.
• Engaging with the service users.

The shop will be at two locations (locations to be confirmed) within South Uttlesford morning and afternoon. Volunteers will be needed for approx. 2 hrs.

• Love food and helping people.
• Are creative and like thinking on their feet.
