Celebrating Volunteers’ Week 2026
To celebrate Volunteers’ Week, we asked some of the team about the impact volunteers have had at Open Kitchen.
We love getting the local community involved with our mission to tackle both food waste and food insecurity.
Thank you to everyone who has taken time out of their days to volunteer with us – you are amazing!
