dc.description.abstractThis article examines the dynamics of volunteer integration within food assistance initiatives in Portugal, addressing the critical absence of structured support systems. Drawing on an approximately year-long qualitative comparative ethnographic study of three non-profit organizations—a surplus food redistribution charity, a soup kitchen, and a social supermarket— this research uncovers significant gaps in integration guidelines and procedures. Through active participation as a volunteer, the researcher reveals how the lack of clear frameworks forces volunteers to rely on informal strategies, resulting in relational and organizational challenges. The findings highlight the pressing need for well-defined support mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of volunteer contributions in food assistance initiatives.pt_PT
