Food Rescue Hero - Delivery Driver
Ongoing
Did you know that 46% of all food produced in Canada goes to waste, meanwhile, one in five households in British Columbia go hungry? Making matters worse, the emissions from decomposing organic waste in Canadian landfills currently account for 20% of national methane emissions. Vancouver Food Runners is seeking Food Rescue Heroes to join our network of passionate volunteer drivers. You will pick up excess perishable food from a community donor (bakery, greengrocer or restaurant) and distribute it to those who need it most. How is Vancouver Food Runners different? We use an app to coordinate food runs for our volunteers to access. Once volunteers claim a food rescue, they can find their way to the donor and their final destination with the push of a button. Be a part of the solution by diverting viable food destined for the landfill and delivering it into the mouths of Vancouver’s most vulnerable and food insecure. Join us in putting an end to hunger and bringing us closer to Zero Waste in our city.
