Our volunteers recover healthy meals from commercial donor cafeterias and deliver them to specified nearby non-profit organizations. Every meal saved stays out of the landfill, helping the environment, while also nourishing our community in need.
The volunteer role would involve:
- Picking up meals from our donor cafeteria, and
- Delivering these meals to our non-profit community partner/s in the nearby area.
Volunteer delivery routes will be approximately a 20 minute drive. Pick-up time may vary depending on the donor's schedule but is currently planned for Wednesday and Friday early afternoon. We welcome regular participation but will work with your schedule. Volunteers need to drive their own car for these pickups.
We are looking for volunteers in the following county: Essex county
