Bring and shareTraining

We would love you to bring a couple of extra food items to share at the Food Share Table. Bring 5, bring 50, bring 500!

If possible,I bringwant to do Sustenance for a specific Action what skills or training do I need? Some experience in food preparation and a basic knowledge of food hygiene would be ideal but is not essential. If someone in your team has these skills there is plenty of room for others to volunteer alongside.

Check List for providing Sustenance for a specific action…

• How many people are you aiming to cater for? Do you have the capacity for this?
• Think about what is most suitable for your action, what will the weather be like? What time of day is it? How close are local amenities? How integral is food to the action, if sharing food and eating together is an integral part of bringing groups together make sure there is the time and space and facilities for this. Or are you providing high energy snacks on the go? Easy to eat food for people in a sit in / occupation / lock-on?
• Where can you prep / cook / eat? How much time will it take and how many volunteers do you need? Do you have the facilities necessary?
• If your kitchen / prep area is off site how will you transport the food? Where are your ingredients coming from? Do you have food donations or need budget and time and people to shop?

Other ways Sustenance for a specific Action can be be provided:
