OX4 Food Crew Volunteers
The OX4 Free Food Crew is a partnership between Waste2Taste, Flo’s – The Place in the Park and ArkT, which was set up to alleviate food poverty for people affected by COVID-19. Our organisations are passionate about ensuring that those most in need at this time can receive the warmth, love and comfort which comes from healthy home-cooked food.
If you are able to volunteer to help deliver the meals to families around OX4 on a Tuesday or Thursday please sign up here. Thank you!
