To be a volunteer kindly apply here
At Kċina ta’ Marta we prepare nutritious food to provide for needs in the community and sustain parish djakonija efforts. Although a token fee is charged per portion, all proceeds go toward a fund that supports parishes around Malta in their work amongst the needy.
This can only be possible through the support of benefactors & volunteers who will also be provided with the necessary training for food handling.
IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE A FOOD DONATION….
The food items we use most are:
passata & polpa preferably jars of 700g, kunserva,
long grain rice,
couscous,
long life skimmed milk,
pitted olives,
Tuna (preferably large tins or pouches)
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER….
At the moment support needed is as follows:
Kitchen Help – groups of 3 persons (if you don’t have a group no worries we can assign you to one) to help the cooks during the cooking sessions. Tasks vary but include food preparation, packaging and cleaning. At the moment this happens in 2 shifts, Friday 2pm to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
Food Deliveries to beneficiaries – this would require you to commit to deliver frozen portions of food from a freezer hub to a beneficiary once a week. The freezer hub is accessible with a code so you can do your delivery at any time that is possible for you as long as you agree with the beneficiary that the time is also good for them to receive the food portions and put them in freezer. In the event you cannot make it for a week or two we will help you find a substitute.

Community meals – parishes will be offered the chance to organise community meals and support our work. For such events we will need people to help us serving plating and helping our guest benefactors enjoy their meal. You can offer to be included in a WhatsApp group (that will be only used for such calls) through which calls for such help will be done….of course when a call is made, you consider your options and if you can make be with us great!
