The Power of Good

Volunteers That Truly Make a Difference

Volunteers are at the heart of Second Helpings Atlanta. Without our amazing community of volunteers, supporters, advocates, and donors we could not do the work that we do every day. We need all of you! Our passionate and dedicated volunteers perform dozens of food rescues every day serving as a major link between our network of food donors who donate the food and partner agencies who distribute it to those in need. We strive to provide a high-quality experience for our volunteers so they can find time in their busy schedules to help change the lives of food insecure people living in our community.

 

 

Volunteer to Rescue Food

Start Today by downloading the App!

Our volunteer drivers complete “routes” — food rescue pickups and deliveries that get good food to people who need it most. Using their own vehicle, volunteers pick up leftover food from generous donors and deliver it directly to partner agencies such as after-school programs, unhoused shelters, food pantries, senior programs, and other organizations serving individuals and families facing food insecurity.

Most routes take 90 minutes or less, with opportunities available 7 days a week and new routes added regularly. Volunteers ages 18+ can commit to a recurring weekly route or sign up on an as-needed basis — whatever works best for you.

Getting started is easy: download the Second Helpings Atlanta app (App Store or Google Play), create an account, and sign up for a route that fits your schedule.
