I volunteered with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine briefly this past Aug & Sept. The girl I met with who I would be reporting to was very nice and we were meeting up so that we could discuss what would be necessary for me to speak with businesses about partnering with RLC in donating food. There wasn't much training or guidance given to me, but I got the bare bone basics. Then I put in A LOT of effort and MANY hours of my time trying to connect at locations. I got many businesses interested in partnering and I spent tons of time updating the data forms from RLC. I could tell the girl I reported to was shocked at how many businesses I was able to connect with in a very short amount of time. However, even after repeatedly asking her to follow up with these companies, it took about 2 months for that to happen.
Their cause is fantastic, but they need more organization and because of the lack of it I felt that my time was wasted and unappreciated. I'd go back if they can organize better
