Opportunity Description
Vancouver Food Runners prevents good food from going to waste by redirecting it to nonprofit organizations that support people facing food insecurity across Metro Vancouver. Using our simple app and a network of volunteer drivers—called Food Rescue Heroes—we match surplus food from local businesses like bakeries, grocers, and cafes to community partners.
We’re currently seeking passionate volunteers to join our team. Each food rescue takes just 30–60 minutes and can be done on your own schedule. It’s a simple but powerful way to make a meaningful impact in your community.

About the Organization
Vancouver Food Runners
Social & Community Services
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.
