CORPORATE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Thank you for your interest in Lagos Food Bank. We are excited about your partnership and we
look forward to having your team join us in the implementation of the outreach/community
inspection program. Please see below the activities you might be interested in.

1. PACKAGING OF BOXES IN PREPARATION FOR THE OUTREACH

This activity is usually between Tuesday and Friday before the weekend of the outreach. This
consists of making of cartons, sorting out the grains (rice, beans, garri), cereals, vegetable oil,
milk packaging, clothes sorting for the target beneficiaries.

We strongly encourage your team members to participate in this activity in order to get
familiarized with the pre-outreach process and items that go into the food boxes. A detailed
email on timing and logistics would be sent out as the period approaches.

2. BENEFICIARY REGISTRATION/ACCREDITATION PROCESS

This activity involves the selection and profiling of beneficiaries to identify the size of the family
and ascertain their level of vulnerability. Once we identify our target beneficiaries, we take
their details down and tags are given to them for identification.

Please note that Beneficiary Registration/Inspection happens on the weekend before the
outreach.

3. DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD BOXES

This is the activity that accommodates a large number of our volunteers. The identified
beneficiaries would receive their food boxes on this day. Registered volunteers are split into 2
groups; some would converge at the foodbank and others would be at the outreach venue. This
activity is divided into 2

• Food Bank Activity: Involves loading the truck with the packaged boxes, bags of clothes
and other items needed for the outreach.

• Outreach Activity: This involves offloading the truck and arranging them in an orderly
fashion. Also, sensitization of beneficiaries and retrieving of the tags also happens at this point.
For communities on the island, we would make use of boat logistics to convey the items.
Volunteers would convey the items from the trucks straight to the boats and then across water.

EDUFOOD (School Feeding) VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT

This program is run during school hours. It entails:

• Packaging: Volunteers arrive as early as 9am to begin the packaging of food items
needed for the day. This generally includes sorting out cereal, milk, bread, beverage, boiling of
eggs, etc into different packages for each school.

• Distribution: After the packaging has been done, volunteers set out en masse to the
schools. At the venue, volunteers are split into groups with each group handling about 2 or 3
schools.

• After distribution has been done, volunteers converge back at the meeting point and
move back to the warehouse/foodbank.
