About this listing
foodKIND is a small 100% volunteer-run humanitarian organization that gives food with kindness to refugees. We started 3 years ago to help with the European refugee crisis. foodKIND has no government funding or large corporate sponsors. Most of our money raised comes from grassroots fundraising by our volunteers.
foodKIND currently works in 2 camps, located an hour north of Athens in mainland Greece. We run a community kitchen workshop in camp Oinofyta where we provide equipment, food and guidance to empower the resident of Oinofyta to cook for themselves We also provide food for refugees in Malakasa camp that are waiting for official registration and have no means to provide for themselves. We work Monday through Friday, Saturday mornings we all clean the volunteer house, Saturday afternoons and Sundays are time off.

What are the Benefits of Volunteering with you? What will you learn?
It was a great experience I wouldn't want to miss.
The team was incredible. I met people who deeply inspired me and I will never ever forget. I made friends with some of the refugees and I still write with them. In generall really nice and kind people. They absolutely reinforced my view of almost everything... I can warmly recommend everybody volunteering the way I did. I always had the feeling to do something good for the people and even though there was a time I was working for 10 hours a day I don't regret a minute.

If you Charge Volunteers, please give us the complete break down of any cost involved
In order to make sure that all the money we raise goes towards our mission of providing food, we ask our volunteers to donate 10€/night (max 200€/month) towards the cost of the volunteer house. If a can not afford to pay for the rent, sometimes we can make an arrangement. The volunteer is responsible for their own food. A kitchen is available.
