Paid or voluntary work. Looking for people with a van to help stock our social supermarket for Christmas on a paid for, mates rates or volunteer basis.
It'll involve shopping in bulk at a supermarket, loading into van, then taking and loading in to our storage unit near Ashburton. Likely 2-4 trips needed over November but can be done as individual trips or more.
Trips will be accompanied by one of the Better Places team and groceries paid for by us at the till. We can pay for van, driver and time for people who can invoice us, and mileage expenses for any volunteers.
If you can do one or more trips please email [email protected] and we will be in touch.
Thank you.
