About this Opportunity

Our volunteers recover healthy meals from commercial donor cafeterias and deliver them to specified nearby non-profit organizations. Every meal saved stays out of the landfill, helping the environment, while also nourishing our community in need.

The volunteer role would involve:

  • Picking up meals from our donor cafeteria on the campus of Rowan University - "Marketplace Rowan" - located at 201 Mullica Hill Road in Glassboro and
  • Delivering these meals to our non-profit community partner in Gloucester Township.

We need volunteers able to rescue this food from Marketplace Rowan and deliver this food on FRIDAYS at 9:00 a.m. to Unforgotten Haven.

Each volunteer task will take approximately one hour including travel time between donor and recipient.

The distance between the donor and the recipient community partner is approximately 20 minutes, and approximately 10 miles.

We require volunteers to drive their own car. We welcome regular participation but will work with your schedule. Insulated bags will be provided to carry food donations.

We are looking for volunteers in Gloucester County who would be close to Rowan University and/or Gloucester Township.
