The food is then made into healthy, delicious meals by chefs and volunteers and distributed to roughly 150 share partners that feed the food insecure. As a Food Rescue volunteer you will use own vehicle to pick up the donated food at various locations around the city and then drop the food off at La Soupe.
All specifics such as load size, appropriate vehicle size, site address/location, general expected mileage and time of travel, and point of contact for each specific site will be provided upon sign up of the shift. All shifts are self-scheduled and managed on an application called Food Rescue (FRU)
