The Face of the Programme
in Your Community

You deliver new boxes, collect full ones, and keep the cycle of giving moving. You work in your own area, at times that suit you, with NRF's full support.

Every box you deliver is a potential source of income. Every box you collect is food, water, shelter, or education for someone in need. You are the link between a coin on a kitchen counter and a well in East Africa, a meal in Yemen, or a school uniform in Pakistan.

NRF provides everything you need. You provide the time, reliability, and commitment.

The Journey

Your Path to How to Start Serving

Step 1

Receive Your Boxes

Fill in the form or contact us. Box delivered within 10 working days.

Step 2

Distribute

Deliver to homes and businesses in your area. Complete a short record for every box: reference number, recipient name, address, contact details, home or business.

Step 3

Stay in Touch

Check in periodically with box holders. Remind them about the four-month return cycle.

Step 4

Collect and Replace

When a box is full or due, collect the sealed box and deliver a replacement. Never open a box in the field.

Step 5

Return to NRF

Deliver all collected boxes to NRF's office or an agreed collection point for dual-witness counting.
