About the event

Support Geneva's vulnerable community by participating in a meaningful day of packing food bags. Volunteers will play a vital role in preparing essential supplies for those in need.

Hosted by Partage, this event takes place indoors and provides a hands-on opportunity to contribute towards alleviating hunger in the community. Around 6,000 bags of non-perishable food and hygiene products are prepared each week, which are then distributed free of charge to a network of beneficiary social institutions.

Partake in various tasks throughout the day, including sorting food items and preparing the bags. Enjoy a welcoming environment with complimentary coffee and croissants provided for breaks. Your efforts directly support individuals facing food insecurity in Geneva.

  • Provide concrete support to thousands of people in precarious situations
  • Work under staff supervision in a warm, friendly team environment
  • Contribute simultaneously to the three pillars of sustainable impact: social, environmental, and developmental
