Lead the Fight Against Hunger and Food Waste in NYC as a Lead Rescuer!

Save to Favorites

Who We Are

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a 501(c)3 non-profit focused on providing a reliable food rescue service by fostering community connections to reduce food waste and food insecurity.

What We Do

We partner with licensed food vendors (offices, restaurants, etc) who know they will have excess, wholesome cuisine and link their food donations to a human service agency within their local community. We then provide volunteer Food Rescuers to collect that excess food on a weekly (sometimes daily!), recurring basis, and walk it to the human service agency to help feed individuals who could benefit from a good meal!

Who We Need

YOU!!

RLC is currently seeking passionate and committed leaders who are willing to take on the role of Lead Rescuer and lead at least one food rescue event on a weekly, recurring basis! Each event is an hour or less and there are events every day of the week. The average number of volunteers you would be working with is three (although if you'd prefer to perform your food rescues solo you can do so! Lead Rescuers have the ability to adjust the number of volunteers that can sign up for each event that they lead). As a Lead Rescuer, you will use your (R)esourcefulness, (L)eadership, and (C)ommunication skills to ensure that the rescued food arrives at its destination safely while providing a positive and supportive experience for all volunteers assisting you on your event.
