Mililani Farmers Market Food Rescue


Aloha Harvest

The Task: Every Sunday, volunteers help recuse excess food from the vendors at the Mililani Farmers market. The opportunities entails sharing information about Aloha Harvest, checking in with regular food donors; collecting, weighing, & tracking the food rescued that day; and dropping off the food to a nearby partner agency. ***This is not a 1 time opportunity. I ask that volunteers who respond to this, can commit to helping 1-2 times a month. I recommend only signing up if you live in the nearby surrounding area/ cities (Mililani, Wahiawa, Waipahu, Pearl City, Etc.)Meeting Location: Plan to meet in the middle of the market. We will have a wagon & cooler bags with us and be in grey Aloha Harvest T-shirts. Requirements:-Can commit to volunteering 1-2 times a month-Has access to a car to help transport food & supplies-Vaccinated for Covid-19-Is comfortable talking/ working with others

About the organizer

In Hawai`i, about 1 in 5 people depend on food pantries for assistance. Yet approximately 237,000 tons of food – or 26% of the available food supply – is wasted annually. We exist to fill this gap – to connect good food with people who need it, instead of letting it go to waste. We have a small office staff and 7 drivers of large refrigerated trucks, along with volunteers.Help Feed Oʻahu
Instead of letting your food go to waste, join Aloha Harvest in collecting and redistributing food to nourish and strengthen our community on Oʻahu.
