Join Our Food Rescue Squad in Spring House, PA

Every year in Pennsylvania, 541,000 tons of prepared food goes to waste, while 1.5 million Pennsylvania residents don’t have enough food to eat. Share My Meals is closing the gap between food waste and hunger by mobilizing volunteers to recover nutritious surplus meals from commercial kitchens and deliver them to local nonprofits that support individuals in need.

About the opportunity:

Share My Meals is looking for dedicated volunteers to pick up pre-packaged meal donations from a meal donor in Spring House, PA on Fridays between 2:00 and 3:00pm and deliver them to Willow Grove Baptist Church in Willow Grove, PA.

We are looking to build a community of 2-4 volunteers who would be willing to support this route starting as early as mid-May.

In order to adhere to food safety guidelines, Share My Meals provides all necessary equipment (i.e. insulated bags) to transport food donations safely and requires volunteers to track pick-up and delivery route start and end times using our smart phone app.

Volunteer Requirements:

• Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Parents may volunteer with their children.

• Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license.

• Volunteers must provide their own transportation and have the necessary auto insurance (minimum of $300,000 Single Limit or $100,000/$300,000 Split Limit auto liability limits).

• Volunteers must have a smartphone with the ability to download our food donation tracking app.

• Volunteers must complete Share My Meals onboarding and training before volunteering.

Please note: This is not a one-time volunteer opportunity; we are looking for volunteers who will work together as a team to ensure the weekly route is covered. For instance, it could be that they take turns volunteering each week or decide to pair up together weekly to pick up and deliver meals.
