🥕 Role: Food Coordinator
Is responsible for
- Daily Fresh Check
- Weekly Pantry Rotation
- Weekly Pantry Spotlight
Goal:
No food should rot unnoticed. Fresh and preserved foods must be checked daily, made visible, and either consumed or processed in time.
📅 Weekly Routine (30–40 min)
- Rotate older jars and preserved batches to the front of the shelf.
- Check labels and replace missing or unclear ones.
- Prepare a “Pantry Spotlight”: select 2–4 older preserved batches, share them with the group (what they are, where stored, how to use them).
âś… Responsibilities
- Visibility: No food should disappear in the back of a fridge or storage.
- Action: Decide quickly between consume vs. process.
- Reminder: If products keep spoiling, remind the group directly.
- Documentation: Label all jars, bags, or bottles with product name + date.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Never throw food away without a clear reason.
- Suspicious items → separate and mark “check”.
- The “Eat Today!” basket must always be insect-safe (mosquito net closed).
- Once food is processed (jam, pickles, dried fruit, etc.), record it in the stock system.
- Smoothies or prepared foods must always be placed in a fridge and announced to the group: “🥤 Smoothie (Mango + Governor Plums) in Volunteer fridge – please finish today!”
