Food Recovery Assistant

Expired

Description

Help us recover food on and established food recovery route in the Triangle! Accompany a paid driver on a truck route recovering food from grocery stores and wholesalers that would otherwise be thrown in the trash. At the end of every route, there is a food distribution drop off at a community partner site. Community partners are other nonprofit organizations like food pantries, rehabilitation centers, soup kitchens, and more. Volunteer today to help us recover and distribute thousands of pounds of food!

  4. All volunteers must wear a name tag to enter the warehouse. (Name tags are provided by the Food Shuttle).
