Petra is a volunteer at Buurtbuik. “We collect food from supermarkets and companies that is on or one day past the expiration date and turn it into a delicious meal. Everyone is welcome to join. I always say: as long as I’m here, no one is hungry.”
From the Kitchen: volunteers support people with intellectual disabilities during their work in the restaurant. Together, they prepare a three-course menu for guests on a weekly basis.
Housing association De Samenwerking made three homes in the South available to refugees with official status. Some neighbors took on the role of providing support. Syrian refugee Shams and mentor Harry share their experiences.
Karen thinks she has the best volunteer job in the world. She transports people with limited mobility over short distances through their neighborhood in De Pijp and Rivierenbuurt.
Driss volunteers at the Rialto cinema. And, a nice bonus: he also gets to watch movies for free.
We organize a Mix & Match event twice a year, with the aim of creating valuable connections between the social organizations and businesses present.
