We’re currently recruiting volunteers who want to help serve coffee and be a part of a fun new social initiative.
There will be a mandatory in-person training for all new Kin volunteers. This training will be brief, but will go over setup & tear down, food safety, POS terminal instruction and PWYW info.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please send an email to kin@rescuefood.ca expressing which shift and dates you’re interested in covering.
*Please note that all Kin volunteers need to be vaccinated as per YMCA and AHS Covid Policy.*

Today we are observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We encourage you to read the 94 Calls to Action and commit to working towards at least one of them.
You can also donate to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society.
Hello Leftovers Partners and Volunteers,
Your commitment to reducing food waste and increasing food access in our community is so incredibly valued – THANK YOU!
Due to COVID-19, many businesses are temporarily shutting their doors and cancelling events. As a result, we have seen a significant change in the frequency and volume of donations. At the same time, access to food has never been more difficult for many members of our community. Whether it’s students who have been isolated from their only meals of the day, seniors who are at-risk every time they leave home, or the many who have recently lost their jobs due to this crisis, we are seeing an unprecedented need for access to food.
We are posting changes/cancellations to food donation routes on the app as they come in. All routes that are posted on the app are as up-to-date as possible. If a donor or agency tells you they’d like to cancel or change hours, please email this feedback to heidi@rescuefood.ca (Calgary), nicole@rescuefood.ca (Edmonton) or juliakraemer@rescuefood.ca (Winnipeg) so we can update the app.
If you have any questions at all, please email us at help@rescuefood.ca. Thank you so much for your help and willingness to be there for our community!
