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 cafeterias on the campus of Rowan University (two locations - Holly Pointe and Marketplace, approximately 5 minutes from each other) in Glassboro and
- Delivering these meals to our non-profit community partner in Gloucester Township.
Each volunteer task will take approximately one hour including travel time between donor and recipient. Pick-up and deliveries times will be on Wednesdays at 9:00 a.m. and Fridays at 4:00 p.m.
The distance between the donor and the recipient community partner is approximately 20 minutes.
We require volunteers to drive their own car. We welcome regular participation but will work with your schedule. Insulated bags will be provided to carry food donations.
We are looking for volunteers in Gloucester County who would be close to Rowan University and/or Gloucester Township.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to fight both food insecurity and the environmental impact of food waste by recovering and delivering healthy meals to local communities.
Description
Share My Meals is a NJ-based nonprofit organization that fights both food insecurity and the environmental impact of food waste by recovering and delivering healthy meals to the local community. Working with its local partners, Share My Meals addresses both of these critical issues at once with a unique, tech-enabled model that recovers healthful, prepared meals, and delivers them to families in need. We collect balanced meals made from surplus prepared foods from commercial food service providers and distribute them directly to the homes of families and non-profit organizations, leveraging volunteers and technical solutions to create a seamless, sustainable model.
