Our corporate volunteer programs combine education with hands-on service, giving employees a meaningful way to support food rescue efforts and local communities in need.

Our team works closely with your organization to customize a corporate volunteer experience that aligns with your company’s goals for employee engagement, team building, corporate social responsibility, and corporate giving initiatives.
