ALICE was already navigating life without a safety net and was one crisis away from financial despair.

In response to this impact of the SNAP emergency, United Way is taking action and encouraging people and groups to collect needed items for local food banks/pantries. While Foodstock is a year-round project, we are strongly promoting its expansion during this critical timeframe, given the critical need right now. This will help ensure ALICE and poverty-level households have enough food while the SNAP program is on hold.

To sign up, respond as an individual or as a team using the buttons to your right. Submit your name and email address—all other requested information is optional—and that’s it!

Agency: Share My Meals Every year in New Jersey, 341,000 tons of prepared food goes to waste, while 994,800 New Jersey residents don’t have enough food to eat. Share My Meals is closing the gap between food waste and hunger by mobilizing volunteers to recover nutritious surplus meals from commercial kitchens and deliver them to local nonprofits that support individuals in need. About the opportunity: Share My Meals is looking for dedicated volunteers to pick up meal donations from a school in Morristown and deliver them to Nourish.NJ (also in Morristown) on Wednesdays and Fridays at 2:30pm (~10 minute drive). Volunteers can choose which day (Wednesdays or Fridays) works best for their own schedule. We are looking to build a community of volunteers who would be willing to support this route on a regular basis starting as soon as possible. In order to adhere to food safety guidelines, Share My Meals provides all necessary equipment (i.e. insulated bags) to transport food donations safely and requires volunteers to track pick-up and delivery route start and end times using our smart phone app. Please note: This is not a one-time volunteer opportunity; we are looking for volunteers who are available to regularly support the meal delivery program. Volunteer Requirements: Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Parents may volunteer with their children. Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license. Volunteers must provide their own transportation and have the necessary auto insurance (minimum of $300,000 Single Limit or $100,000/$300,000 Split Limit auto liability limits). Volunteers must have a smartphone with the ability to download our food donation tracking app. Volunteers must complete Share My Meals onboarding and training before volunteering.
