Volunteer in spotlight: Daniel is coordinator at Buurtbuik

In addition to his job as Legal Counsel International Investments at Bouwinvest, Daniel recently also became a volunteer at Buurtbuik West. Through Deedmob he came into contact with thecharity and participated in the mission against food waste!

What did your tasks entail?

"At Buurtbuik you can drive around in the mornings with a cargo bike to collect leftover food from supermarkets and restaurants or prepare food in the afternoon together with a coordinator and volunteers. I did both!"

How did you like your experience as avolunteer?

"I really liked it! I had to deal witha friendly group of people. I also realised that it was a double-edged sword:together we prevented food waste and ensured that the neighbourhood cametogether for a tasty meal."

What will be your next 'do'?

"When I was at Buurtbuik the other day, I was asked to become a coordinator! So I think it would be super fun to be able to be involved in this fantastic charity on a regular basis."
