Kozmoz Food Bank Volunteering (Fushimi, Kyoto)

Kozmoz, a social enterprise based in Fushimi, Kyoto, recruits food bank volunteers year-round for roles such as café support (which funds the food bank), English conversation help, food packing and sorting, media and fix-it work — several roles are explicitly listed as requiring no Japanese. The centre is open 7 days a week, with food bank institutional deliveries on Wednesdays and Fridays, and volunteers can join once in a while, once a month or once a week, for a short or long term. Entry is by a short application followed by an interview.
