Food Rescue
The Uniting Food Rescue program helps feed and nourish some of the most vulnerable people in our community by diverting unsold fresh food from landfill to the kitchens of homelessness services around Perth.
Food Rescue, a volunteer-driven social initiative by Uniting, plays a crucial role in addressing food waste and hunger in Western Australia. This innovative program focuses on diverting edible food from landfill, redirecting it instead to nourish people experiencing homelessness. As a volunteer for Uniting Food Rescue, you're not just contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing food waste, but also directly impacting the lives of those in need.
Volunteering with us is an excellent opportunity to be physically active and engage in the community. You'll be involved in various activities, such as collecting surplus food from donors, sorting and packaging food items, and distributing them to those who need them most. It's a chance to be part of a team that brings tangible, positive change to individuals and the community. By joining Food Rescue, you help create a healthier environment and provide essential support to vulnerable individuals in our society
Each and every month, our Food Rescue volunteers collect over 3 tonnes of fresh food to make more than 8,000 meals. That’s more than 100,000 nutritious meals every year for vulnerable people in our community.
By volunteering with Food Rescue, you can make a positive difference in people’s lives. And it’s a great opportunity for team building and promoting your organisation’s social responsibility.
Why volunteer at Food Rescue
Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with us. With your help, we can go further for the people we support. Joining our team is a great way for you to make a positive difference
"It’s a great way of being occupied after retirement! Gives me a satisfaction
I’m giving my community a bit of me!
Have made many new acquaintances
To keep a healthy physical balance there’s tennis and golf !"
All work and no play makes for a dull day!
