In addition to providing groceries packed and delivered to homes, we organise supermarket shopping trips, where children from low-income families shop for what they really like and need, within a budget of $50 per child (budget is borne by the volunteers). They learn about nutrition, budgeting, and decision-making – skills which will have broader impact on their lives. Volunteers will teach the children how to choose nutritious and value-for-money food. Level of interaction with children is high and the time commitment is about 2 hours per session.
Step 1: Volunteer Briefing
Volunteers will attend a briefing in person on the day of the event to learn more about the programme flow as well on nutrition / healthy eating / budgeting.
Step 2: Volunteer-Child Pair Work
Volunteers and children to go through the shopping lists together in their pairs to ensure that items on the list meet the program requirements.
Step 3: Grocery Shopping
Volunteers will guide the student with their shopping based on the list prepared.
Step 4: Debrief
Volunteers and students to head back to the centre/meeting point for debrief and dismissal.
