Climate Action - Rolling Tomato- Food Recovery
Join the City of Boise and Rolling Tomato as we sort and load donated food from Charlie's Produce to go out to community partners. We will meet at Charlie's Produce 1262 Exchange St, Boise.
Space is limited so please make sure if you sign up that you attend to support the important work of Rolling Tomato.
Rolling Tomato is a local organization that recovers excess fresh produce and freshly-prepared foods destined for the landfill and distribute them to their partner recipient organizations, which in turn distribute the perfectly good food to their communities.
Help their volunteers sort and load the donations to be sent out to community partners. This will occur outdoors, so dress warm and wear closed toed shoes! There will also be some lifting necessary.
There will be an option to shadow and help the Rolling Tomato Volunteers deliver the food if you would like to stay longer. You will need your own vehicle if you would like to participate in that portion.
