Our corporate volunteer program, Food Rescue Tours, provides corporate groups with an educational and hands-on volunteer experience. Your team will learn about the issues of wasted food and food insecurity in NYC from an RLC staff member and then get to help address those issues by participating in a food rescue event.

We do require a corporate donation for these events, which varies depending on the size/scope of the event. All funds go towards our work to reduce wasted food and hunger in our community.

Benefits of participating in a Food Rescue Tour include:

  • Educational Experience: Learn about the issues of wasted food and food insecurity, how RLC addresses those issues, and how your employees can get involved.
  • Hands-on Volunteering: An RLC staff member will lead the group through a food rescue event, where employees will help pack up the donated food and deliver it to a local nonprofit partner.
  • Immediate Impact: A staff member at our nonprofit partner will talk to your employees about the impact the food donations will have on the community they serve.
  • Recognition: RLC will provide a recap of your group’s impact inclusive of how much food was rescued, photos from the event, a social media post, and newsletter mention.
We would be honored to host your company on a Food Rescue Tour at a time that is convenient for you. We will match you with a food donor in your neighborhood, so disregard the address below. Thank you so much!
