🥕 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!”
