Are you available to help our friends at Food2You on a Thursday morning in Surrey Quays? This is a fun task that will make a big difference!

What's involved?

• Meet Food2You team at Tesco in Surrey Quays between 9-11am
• Pick up a shopping list and head into the store to find the items
• Bring these back to the team, where together, you will double check the items before they are boxed to go through the till

ON ARRIVAL

• If you arrive and there is a queue, go to the front and tell them you are volunteering with Food2You/Age UK and they will let you in
• Walk through the store to the far end. In between the alcohol and the bakery section there is a big double white door. Go through the door, turn left, and Terry and the team should all be in there
• If you can't find the way, look out for shoppers in Tesco with red clipboards, that say 'I'm shopping for local older people' on the back, and they will be able to point you in the right direction!

Food2You is a shopping delivery service provided for older people through Age UK. We are excited to be able to get involved, with this task now a weekly activity on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

You will, of course, need to adhere to social distancing rules, wear a mask and gloves and take direction from the Food2You team.

The Borough Food Cooperative at St George the Martyr Church acts as a subsidized supermarket, and is providing essential supplies to local households who are unable attend the shop in person.

This Friday 5th We need 2 volunteers to join the team between 12.30am-2.30pm.

On arrival volunteers will meet Adam, the Food Hub Coordinator. The task will include unloading and sorting deliveries from suppliers, and packing food for deliveries ready for the next day.

Please ensure everyone wears a mask in the distribution hub and follows strict social distancing procedures.

For the next 4 weeks, Mercato Metropolitano will be supporting their local CoMMunity with free take-away food bags to ease their grocery shopping.

We will be helping out with weekly sessions on Tuesdays, handing out 30 food bags per week, ready for each collection day. This is likely to be nice short task!

This Tuesday 1-2 volunteers are needed to help hand out food bags at the market from 11.15-12pm.
