Food rescuers is an organization that collects products from restaurants and supermarkets and redistributes them to those in need. One of my roles at the internship is to help sort the fruit and veg to make sure that only good food is given away, not things that have gone off. I also help cook some of that food for the staff (including myself) to have for lunch. This can get quite hectic as the kitchen can be crowded with volunteers and there are lots of people to cook for, but everyone is really nice and I even get to take food home at the end of the day! Sometimes we’re also asked to help out with DIY projects – like clearing out the second floor so they can renovate it – or collecting more rescued food from the warehouse.
