Collaboration is one of our values. From farmers markets and Trivia Nights, to BINGO, outdoor movies, rock and roll shows, and cooking competitions, if our neighbors are there, we want to be there, too. Hosting and attending events all year long helps us to raise community awareness of food insecurity and food waste. Our event and outreach volunteers might find themselves sharing information at a table, signing up visitors to receive our enewsletter, greeting and welcoming guests, answering questions about Loaves & Fishes, and more.
Qualifications:
- Pretty darn amazing
- Leaps into action
- Rises to a challenge
- Compassionate, caring, good for a hug

About Loaves & Fishes
Location:
37 Villa Road, Suite 200, Greenville, SC 29615, US
Mission Statement
It is Loaves & Fishes’ mission to rescue surplus food and redistribute it free of charge to our partner agencies to reduce food insecurity in Greenville County. During 2024, we rescued 2.5 million pounds of food and delivered it to over 100 partner agencies, including food pantries, shelters, afterschool programs, low-income housing and more. We work daily to alleviate food insecurity in our community by ensuring no good food goes to waste.
Description
Ensuring no good food goes to waste means over $9 million in surplus food is redirected to those in need and kept out of our landfills. As long as over 60,000 people in our community struggle to put food on the table, we will be on the road rescuing food.
Food is the largest category of landfill waste, contributing to 14.1% of U.S. emissions. By preventing 2.5 million pounds of food from ending up in our landfills in 2024, we reduced greenhouse gases by 9.5 million pounds and delivered enough food for 2.1 million meals.
