We are looking forward to receiving letters from people who value food and do not tolerate waste of resources, it would be great if they would write us messages from Supilinna, Ülejõe, Raadimõisa or Kvissentali! We are looking for help from volunteers living in these areas.

Foodsharing Tartu works a little differently than traditional volunteer groups. It brings together active communicators, constantly present people who have time to think along and the ability to react quickly.

If you live in a suitable area, then perhaps you can connect yourself with a unique world-improving company and activity through which you can do a lot of good.

Foodsharing Tartu is looking for active volunteers to join its ranks with whom to develop the culture of food sharing and the food rescue movement in Tartu and Estonia.

Foodsharing Tartu is a movement consisting of active volunteers, whose goal is to reduce the habits of throwing away and wasting food and other resources.

Our volunteers are active people who care about the environment, who appreciate food and are ready for constant cooperation with other volunteers. A Foodsharing Tartu volunteer is an active and conscientious person who can work independently and contributes their free time to the development of the movement according to the tasks they have chosen. The time frame of the tasks varies, but is between 4-10 hours per week.

Tasks of the volunteers:

  • maintaining and cleaning food distribution cabinets;
  • delivering food to food distribution cabinets;
  • organizing or participating in public fair food distributions;
  • creating social media content and outreach;
  • developing cooperation with companies and partners;
  • participating in outdoor events and cooking; etc.
