At Bwyd Da Mon we’ve always been incredibly proud of our volunteers. From helping serve our members with a smile on their faces (even with masks!) and maintaining the jovial atmosphere we’ve become known for, to collecting donations from our partners, to even our board of directors, we simply could not function without them. This blog post is dedicated to them, so who better to discuss what it’s like to volunteer for us than one of our own?
Katherine Edwards, volunteer since May 2021:
I began as a member with Bwyd da Mon, however I fell in love with the concept and everything the non profit stands for. I then took the leap and began volunteering. It was the best thing I have done in a long time. Whilst volunteering I get such a sense of achievement and feel as though I'm giving back to the community. Through volunteering I have made friends and met so many different people from within my community. All kinds of amazing people who all have one common interest; to save on food waste. Through being a volunteer I have learnt many things and it is the best experience I have ever had. I have skills I never had before and friends I feel will be with me for life. Being a volunteer for a small community non profit is such an amazing experience and I am so glad to be a part of the team.
