Help Rescue Food & Fight Food Waste!

We’re looking for volunteer drivers!

Do you have time and a reliable vehicle? You can help Desert Harvest fight hunger!

Drivers can pickup food and deliver it to local nonprofits. Most nonprofits are stretched thin and make every penny count. By picking up food, which is often on a regular schedule, you’re freeing up time for nonprofit staff members to focus on their own missions and work, and you’re also helping them to provide food to people they serve. Desert Harvest food runs are usually scheduled at the same date and time each week. You can also choose to pick up one-off food donations when we get calls from restaurants or hotels; for example after a large event. The donation pickups require some training in safe food handling, and there are coolers that you may borrow from Desert Harvest, for longer runs. 

Volunteer drivers must provide their own vehicles.
