Bern - ThanksGiver Volunteer Day
About the event
Looking for a meaningful and impactful way to bring your team together while giving back to the community? ThanksGiver Schweiz offers unique corporate team-building events that combine teamwork with social responsibility, turning excess food into access for those in need. Join us for an eye-opening and fulfilling experience that your team will truly appreciate!
After a brief introduction to our mission and operations, your team will dive straight into the action, setting up and running a food bank in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
Hands-on activities include:
- Receiving and sorting food donations
- Packing food parcels for families and individuals in need
- Assisting with food distribution
- Helping with loading and unloading delivery vans
- Tidying up after the event is complete
The full experience - from welcome to wrap-up - takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Throughout the day, we’ll keep spirits high with coffee, tea, light snacks, good vibes, and plenty of group photos to capture the moments. After the event, we’ll share an e-book with practical tips on reducing food waste.
