The Nelson Environment Centre needs a volunteers to join the Kai Rescue team in their effort to rescue food that would otherwise go to landfill, and redistribute it to over 60 Nelson charities. You will be available on a weekday morning (currently we need people on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays to sort and pack the kai boxes.

The team of volunteers collect, sort and pack the rescued food from supermarkets, manufacturers and growers. They share the kai with many groups in the Nelson region that are running support services to help those in our community that are struggling to afford food. Your role would be to coordinate and support this team.

We offer a friendly environment, reasonably central location and real coffee! This is an opportunity to have a real impact and feel more connected in the local community. You must be 16 years of age or older to volunteer.

We have a few opportunities available at Kai Rescue:

• Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays - general packing of kai boxes (from approx 8.30 - 1pm - you won't be required the whole time)

• Collections - Wednesdays from 7 am to around 11 am (depending on the day) - suitable for early birds!

• Backup collections - any weekday around 7 am - 11 am (depending on the day) - this would be when our regular volunteers are not available.

We look forward to hearing from you!
