    About Us

    Through our app-based model, we match surplus food from businesses and organizations with nonprofit partners serving food-insecure communities. Our volunteer drivers—known as Food Rescue Heroes—use the Vancouver Food Runners app to transport food from donors to local nonprofits. These volunteers are at the heart of our work and play a vital role in ensuring good food is delivered to local nonprofits serving communities across the region.
