Vancouver Food Runners is looking for volunteer Food Rescue Heroes

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.

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.
