Food-aid

We share food every Wednesday and Friday at 4 PM At Aleksanteri's Church, Pyynikin kirkkopuisto,
33100 Tampere. The most of the food is waste food donated by local supermarkets and restaurants. Food bags are made at Foodbank (Ruokapankki) which is our co-operation partner. Tasks of volunteers are counting and packing the food to plastic bags and sharing it to people in need. We give food bag to everyone in need. The tasks of volunteers begin at 1 PM and are over before 5 PM. 

Unfortunately at the moment we can't take new volunteers to food-aid.
