This program is ideal for

Compassionate volunteers who are passionate about combating food waste and making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Volunteers should possess qualities such as empathy, compassion, and a strong sense of social responsibility. They should be dedicated to working with local partners to collect and redistribute leftover food from supermarkets to social organizations, poor families, homeless individuals, and others in need. By joining this program, volunteers have the opportunity to contribute to addressing a global issue and raising awareness about food waste.

Are you passionate about making a difference in your community and combating food waste? Join our local partners in Spain to be a part of the impactful Food Rescue movement. By volunteering with us, you can help redistribute leftover food from local supermarkets to social organizations, needy families, homeless individuals, and others who require assistance.

Why Your Help Matters

Were you aware that Catalonia alone sees a staggering 262,000 tonnes of food wasted each year? These figures are nothing short of remarkable - 40% of all food gets discarded during its industrial transformation, 5% in distribution, 40% within households, and 15% within the restaurant sector. This is a critical issue demanding swift and decisive action.

Be a Catalyst for Change

By volunteering, you can be the change this cause needs. You'll assist in our mission to give surplus food a new purpose and ensure it reaches those who truly need it. Within our network of centers, we gather surplus food from nearby restaurants, supermarkets, and cafes, ensuring its quality, and subsequently, we distribute it to families, senior citizens, and homeless individuals who require assistance.

Yet, what remains deficient is a sense of unity, bravery, and broad societal consciousness that acknowledges food wastage as a worldwide concern impacting our entire planet. By opening our doors to international volunteers, we're helping raise the awareness and support needed to tackle this pressing problem.
