Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation’s Post

In honour of this month's National Volunteer Week and Food for Good Week, we asked team experience participant Jason Mehta, "What's a corporate champion?" Here's his response! ProServIT “From the moment I was involved in my first Food Sort Team Experience at Food for Life back in 2018 I fell in love with the mission and the community impact of supporting families in need. I knew I needed to rally more people to get behind this incredible organization. Not only does FFL help families in need, they provide a valuable opportunity to corporate groups to give back the community and do something meaningful, getting a peak "behind close doors." Knowing that the impact of your efforts, as a team, stem to the success within community is incredible.    Immediately when you go through a team experience at Food for Life, you are guided by staff and/ or who are passionate, full of energy, and working as one to showcase all the elements and hands that go into support. This organization has developed exponentially since the last time I came 5 years ago, and it’s clearly been supported by many local corporations and citizens driven to help with food sustainability and responsible food waste. For volunteers and teams who get to learn about food loss, food waste and see the food that is rescued on site, you’ll be amazed to learn how your experience contributes to reducing greenhouse gases, and feeding people in community. You will want to give a donation to Food for Life on experience day once you know just how much you would be doing towards a sustainable environment. I can’t speak more highly of an organization that is truly empowering the community and allowing a human RIGHT to everyone to put GOOD food on their tables." Looking to become a community champion?

In last week’s Friday 5, we wrote about FoodCycle, an initiative set up to “make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community”. FoodCycle provides free community meals for those in need using food that would otherwise be thrown away by supermarkets. They are always looking for volunteers, so if you’re looking for a way to give back to your community this New Year and you’re keen to cook, manage or just chat, head to the link below to find out how you can join the initiative now.

Excited to kick off 2024 with my first volunteering session at Food from the Heart today. Volunteering monthly since April 2023 has been a rewarding experience. These are what I had learnt: 🤝 Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Together, we break down tasks into a seamless flow of activities. From loading baskets to packing goodies, each member plays a crucial role in creating a well-oiled machine and complete the packing on time. 📦 Systematic Approach: Mastered the art of packing. We packed essential items into plastic bags, maintaining a neat rectangle form for easy storage and distribution. Ensuring the items fits like a puzzle, just like playing Tetris in real life. 🛠️ Practical Problem-Solving: Practice make perfect. 🌐 Community and Connection: Building connections with people who share the same passion for making a difference. Colleagues from different functions coming together as a team. Volunteering at Food from the Heart has been more than just about doing good. #wellnessatwork
