Be the link between our food donors and nonprofits. If you have a car and 30 minutes, you can be a food rescuer and ensure that excess food avoids the landfill.

We need your help stocking shelves and serving guests. You can help ensure that food is efficiently routed to those most in-need by supporting our logistics.
Serve at a Food Distribution
Description
Food distributions are short 2-hour events where large trucks are unloaded and directly distributed to those in-need and our partnering nonprofits.
Role
As a volunteer, you will help us keep the line moving efficiently. You would be stationed throughout the line and help us load vehicles with food. You would be working in a team environment. This event can be fast-paced but has a large impact.

Food distributions typically occur in Ross, Ohio, or downtown Hamilton, Ohio. However, we travel to wherever the food is available in the tri-state. If you receive notifications of these opportunities, you will be provided the exact location and the ability to opt-out.

Become a Food Rescuer
Description
Food rescuers are the backbone of our operations. Rescuers will use their own cars and transport food between a food donor and a nonprofit agency. During your rescue, you will have step-by-step instructions to make sure that it is as easy as possible.
Role
As a rescuer, you will utilize the Food Rescue US software to view available rescues and select one that matches your schedule. Then, you'll follow the information in the app to pick up and drop-off the food. Each rescue only takes about 30 minutes!
Location(s)
Rescues occur throughout the week and throughout the tri-state. We have rescues spanning from West Chester to Harrison and everywhere in between. Inside the Food Rescue US app, you will see the specific areas that are available.
