Organizer?

The Bulgarian Food Bank.

Why?

Every second Bulgarian lives at or below the poverty line. At the same time thousands of kilograms of food get wasted. Help prevent food waste and make it possible to feed a larger number of hungry people.

Where?

At the Bulgarian Food Bank warehouse in Sofia, Slatina-Bulgarplod Wholesale Market, 13 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd, map.

Deft hands and team play.

All volunteers must be in good health and should not have been in contact with anybody with a contagious disease in the past month (you sign a declaration on the premises, no medical documents required).

  • Flat shoes suitable for outdoor work.
  • Provided on the premises are gloves, aprons and work vests.

Food?

The Bulgarian Food Bank will be happy to offer hot drinks and biscuits for a job well done.

Health risks?

Once a mission you participate in ends, you can tell us how it went in a couple of sentences ("it was great" won't do).

It's simple: after the end we send you instructions - follow them. This way you earn points and rise in rank , others get inspired and we're all happy.
