Give few hours of hours of your time - volunteers needed to help with EU food aid delivery and distribution

Kallio-Käpylä branch office of Red Cross is distributing EU food aid during the Night of the Homeless (Asunnottomien yö) on October 17th.

We are looking for volunteers to help out on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 17th of October. 

Wednesday 9th 

The food delivery arrives to the branch of Kallio-Kapylä on 9th of October between 8-16 o’clock. The exact delivery time of the goods will be informed to the volunteers about an hour before the arrival due to the logistic company’s arrangements. 

We need volunteers, who

  • Help to move the food packages from the truck into the branch office 
  • Pack the food packages in plastic bags, which can be distributed to those who need them
  • Are on call during the agreed time period and ready to arrive to the branch office to help with the above mentioned tasks in approximately one hour notice

If you have one hour or more time to spare, you can sign up as a volunteer and be on call for the time period that suits you: either from 8 to 12, 12 to 16 or for the whole day. We call the volunteers when the goods are arriving. In case the delivery is at 16, we hope that the volunteers could stay at least till 17.

You don’t need to have any previous experience on volunteering and you’ll get the instructions on the spot.
