DESCRIPTION
Food for Life APS is a social promotion association with several locations in Italy, for humanitarian purposes, with the aim of fostering personal growth through the sharing of food. Food for Life works to combat economic and social hardship and poverty, both materially and spiritually. The association runs various meal distribution programs for the homeless and families in need.

We are looking for 1 volunteer for the office in SAVONA. Please note: people who work at this association are “Hare Krishna” (a monotheistic Hindu religious movement).
