Group Volunteering

Think volunteering takes too long, and you don't feel like you have an impact? Volunteer with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, and make the most impact in the shortest amount of time! Every day, millions of people go without having a proper meal, while 40% of the food that we produce goes into the garbage.

Help someone have a meal by walking leftover food from local food businesses, to a nearby shelter in a 20 minute walk. Volunteering with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine for about 45 minutes can help feed 40 people! Volunteer with your team, and make even more of an impact by rescuing more food together! Sign up below!
