Drivers to Collect Supermarket Surplus


Do you want to help save good food from waste in Cambridge? Join our team of surplus collection drivers!

Volunteers play a vital role in saving and redistributing surplus food across the city by driving to collect donations from local supermarkets and delivering them to food centres where they can be sent out to feed the community.

Collection shifts are on weekday mornings (Mon-Fri) between 7-9:30am. You’ll visit a selection of supermarkets in central Cambridge before dropping all the surplus food you’ve rescued at one of the following locations:

  • East Barnwell Community Centre: Mondays

  • The Edge Cafe: Tuesdays

  • CSF Distro Hub (Barnwell Business Park): Wednesdays and Thursdays

  • Trumpingon Pavilion: Fridays

This is a flexible role and we welcome drivers who can help out regularly or on an ad-hoc basis.

Must have an insured vehicle, a valid UK driving licence, and you must be aged 18+
