We would be very happy if we could get two volunteers to work in the mornings from 8:00 to 13:00 from Monday to Saturday.

One of them would be for our little kitchen, cooking dishes and pack them to take away in glass jars and also to make preparations like tomato sauce, pesto, hummus or mayonnaise.

The second one would be to help in the stocks receipt, and repacking of bulk items.
