Food Recovery Fellows Program: Volunteer to Reduce Food Waste & Address Food Insecurity

Food Recovery Fellows Volunteer Opportunity (June–December)

Are you looking to stay active, give back, and remain connected to your community? Join Food Recovery Fellows, a six-month service-learning program with Share My Meals.

Beyond volunteering, you’ll also participate in engaging in-person and virtual sessions exploring topics like food recovery, sustainability, and food security.
