Kitchen Volunteer - Kitchen Assistant and Kitchen Porter

Based in Granton, Empty Kitchens Full Hearts prepares nourishing meals using surplus food. The kitchen is at the heart of what we do. The volunteer opportunities we have available are essential to ensuring that our food is well prepared, fresh and produced in an environment which is clean and safe. The kitchen is operational Monday to Thursday with shifts from or between 9am and 1pm or 1pm to 4pm. We are flexible and happy to talk about how these opportunities could work for you.
