Interested In Volunteering?
Read the following guide to get started:
Step 1:
Please obtain FZHH shirts so that volunteers and students are identifiable with the charity and Tariqa.
The shirts can be obtained via the following link: FZHH Volunteer Long Sleeve Shirt | Sufi Meditation Center store (creator-spring.com)
Step 2:
Approach food retailers and ask them to donate any unsold foods they would otherwise discard. Building a relationship with the food manager is great way to sustain a steady flow of food supply. Volunteers can start by contacting:
- Big Box Food Retailers [COSTCO, Walmart, Tesco…]
- Local grocers [Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons…]
- Bakeries, Coffee shops and Restaurants
- Hotels [catering event surplus]
The last page within this Starter Guide contains a letter template that Volunteers are highly encouraged to use for communicating the objective of the charity to prospective food retailers in a standardized manner. Simply edit the yellow highlighted fields in accordance with your region/prospects.
Step 3:
Distribute the rescued foods to local homeless shelters, food pantries, community women & children centers or underprivileged schools.
Step 4:
Document your service with Photos! Please take pictures of the process. Please be respectful when taking pictures of those whom you are serving. Send your photos to:
