Volunteer

Would you like to help Boulder Food Rescue in our mission to create a more just, less wasteful food system in Boulder? There are several ways you can volunteer:

1. 1. Bike Deliveries: Pick up food from one of 28+ local grocery stores and deliver it to recipient sites around Boulder. We ask that you commit an hour- two hours of time per shift. Trailers are provided, and we have loaner bikes available if you do not have one. For more information, read the “New Volunteer Orientation” section below, or contact [email protected].
   2. Skills & Contributions: If you have skills, ideas, knowledge, or other things you want to contribute, we will always welcome them. We often need help in the below areas, but are open to others. For more info, contact [email protected]:
      1. Grant Writing
      2. Graphic Design
      3. Fundraising
      4. Event Planning
      5. Writing
   3. Food Justice Blog: We share articles relating to food waste, redistribution, and food justice. If you’d like to write for or get involved with the blog, contact [email protected].
   4. Bike Maintenance Team: Keep our bike delivery team on the move by helping maintain our inventory of bikes and trailers. If you are interested in being part of the crew, contact [email protected].
   5. Giving Team: The Giving team is a group of volunteers looking to support Boulder Food Rescue and learn grassroots fundraising skills. This cohort will have a series of 2-3 trainings on grassroots fundraising, with outside one-on-one support from the Executive Director. Cohort members will set their own goals and learn to do direct asks to fundraise for the cause they love. For more information, visit this page, or email [email protected]
