Becoming a Volunteer 

We run two community projects that rely on volunteers:
Food Rescue - A fixed team of volunteers who collect and distribute surplus food every Friday.
​We recruit new volunteers approximately twice per year.
Clothes Swap & Repair Sunday - Drop-in volunteers welcome every 1st and 3rd Sunday (March–November) to help with mending and sewing machine support. No commitment required - just show up when you can.​

Clothes Swap & Repair Sunday

Every 1st and 3rd Sunday (March–November), we host a community clothes swap and peer-to-peer repair space.
​Drop-in volunteers welcome!
Roles:

• Hand Mending Help - Show people how to sew on buttons, fix small rips, patch holes
• Sewing Machine Support - Help with larger repairs, teach machine basics, troubleshoot issues

What to do: Come to the repair table, work on your own projects, and help others when they need a hand. If you know how to sew on a button, you can help!
When: Every 1st or 3rd Sunday, from 11:00 to 14:00. ​Check the calendar for the upcoming event details.
