Description de l'opportunité
Organization Summary:
Vancouver Food Runners is a registered Canadian charity working at the intersection of food waste, food access, and environmental sustainability. Since launching in 2019, we have built one of the largest volunteer-powered food recovery networks in Metro Vancouver.
Using our app-based platform, we connect surplus food from local businesses with nonprofit organizations serving communities across the region. Every day, volunteers use the Vancouver Food Runners app to transport fresh surplus food from donors to community partners including food banks, neighbourhood houses, shelters, and community organizations.
Our volunteers, known as Food Rescue Heroes, are at the heart of this work. By completing short food rescues across the region, they help ensure good food is shared with communities instead of going to waste.
Volunteer Opportunity Summary:
Vancouver Food Runners is looking for volunteers to join our growing network of Food Rescue Heroes.
Food rescues are simple and flexible. Using the Vancouver Food Runners app, volunteers can claim a rescue that fits their schedule and transport surplus food from a local business to a nearby nonprofit organization. Most rescues take 30–60 minutes and can be done by car, bike, or on foot depending on the location.
Every rescue helps reduce food waste while supporting organizations that provide meals and food access across Metro Vancouver.

Vancouver Food Runners is a registered Canadian charity working at the intersection of food waste, food insecurity, and environmental sustainability. Using app-based technology, we connect surplus food from local businesses with nonprofit partners serving communities across Metro Vancouver.
We’re currently looking for volunteer drivers, known as Food Rescue Heroes, to help transport surplus food from donors to local nonprofits. Using the Vancouver Food Runners app, you can claim rescues that fit your schedule and make a direct impact in your own community.
Most rescues take about 30 to 60 minutes and are flexible and self-directed. If you have access to a vehicle and want to help reduce food waste while supporting families in your neighbourhood, we’d love to have you join us.
Your time helps ensure good food doesn’t go to waste and instead reaches people who need it most.
