Job Description

Interested in sustainability, food waste reduction, and alleviating food insecurity? Become a volunteer driver with Zero Food Waste YYC!

The Zero Food Waste Foundation is a registered nonprofit operating in Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton and Ottawa. We redirect food waste from local businesses to Canadians in need.

With the help of volunteer food rescue drivers like you, we have rescued over 296,000 pounds of food from going to waste. That means more than 411,000 pounds of CO? emissions have been prevented -- food waste is a huge contributor to greenhouse gases. We've served over 284,000 meals to people across Canada. And in total, that has translated into more than 1 million dollars' worth of value saved.

As a volunteer driver, you will be picking up food from local shops, restaurants, and bakeries then dropping the food off at a nearby food bank or homeless shelter.

Requirements:

? Must have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

Duties:

? Pick up food from a set food provider and deliver to service agencies on set date.

Perks:

? Choose your own schedule! There are no hour requirements or commitments. Choose the shifts you'd like!

? Hours will be given for every drop-off/pick-up.

? Letters of Recommendation available for reliable drivers upon request.

? Be part of a community of likeminded volunteers committed to sustainability.

The food rescued and delivered helps countless service agencies, such as the Drop-In Center, the Mustard Seed Foundation, Calgary Alpha House, Children's Cottage Society, and Inn from the Cold as well as over 25 other charities to reduce their annual grocery bills, alleviate stress and provide financial relief to reinvest funds into housing, education and other essential social support services and programs.
