Our volunteers recover healthy meals from corporate donor cafeterias and restaurants and distribute them to our neighbors in need. Every meal saved stays out of the landfill, helping the environment, while also nourishing our community.

We have a variety of opportunities for volunteers with cars including:

- Picking up meals from our meal donor partners, which include corporate cafeterias, schools, caterers

- Delivering meals to our non-profit community partners in the geographies we serve throughout NJ

- Delivering meals to the homes of families and seniors in Princeton, Montgomery, Lawrenceville, East Windsor, and Plainsboro.

Home deliveries are Monday-Friday 4-6pm; Donor to non-profit delivery times vary but are usually on Monday-Friday sometime between 9-5pm. We also have a small number of non-profit deliveries on Saturdays.

We are looking for volunteers in the following counties: Essex, Middlesex, Mercer, Morris, and Somerset and are regularly adding more areas.
