Our volunteers recover healthy meals from corporate donor cafeterias and restaurants and distribute them to our neighbors in need. Every meal saved stays out of the landfill, helping the environment, while also nourishing our community.
We have a variety of opportunities for volunteers with cars including:
- Picking up meals from our meal donor partners, which include corporate cafeterias, schools, caterers
- Delivering meals to our non-profit community partners in the geographies we serve throughout NJ
- Delivering meals to the homes of families and seniors in Princeton, Montgomery, Lawrenceville, East Windsor, and Plainsboro.
Home deliveries are Monday-Friday 4-6pm; Donor to non-profit delivery times vary but are usually on Monday-Friday sometime between 9-3pm.
We are looking for volunteers in the following counties: Essex, Middlesex, Mercer, Morris, and Somerset and are regularly adding more areas.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to fight both food insecurity and the environmental impact of food waste by recovering and delivering healthy meals to local communities.
Description
Share My Meals is a NJ-based nonprofit organization that fights both food insecurity and the environmental impact of food waste by recovering and delivering healthy meals to the local community. Working with its local partners, Share My Meals addresses both of these critical issues at once with a unique, tech-enabled model that recovers healthful, prepared meals, and delivers them to families in need. We collect balanced meals made from surplus prepared foods from commercial food service providers and distribute them directly to the homes of families and non-profit organizations, leveraging volunteers and technical solutions to create a seamless, sustainable model.
