Food Recovery Hub warehouse shift with We Don't Waste
Sort rescued food donations, prep grocery bags, and help nonprofit partners shop at We Don't Waste's warehouse hub in Denver. Closed-toe shoes required.
Why we picked this
The Food Recovery Hub is where rescued food gets sorted and organized before it goes out to nonprofits — warehouse work with visible, measurable throughput.
The We Don’t Waste Food Recovery Hub operates out of a warehouse at 6090 E 39th Ave in Denver. Volunteers sort incoming food donations, prepare grocery bags, and assist nonprofit partner organizations as they shop for food to distribute to their own communities. The work is indoor and well-organized, with clear tasks and staff on site.
Closed-toe shoes are required for warehouse work. Free parking is available at the facility. The Hub shift is a good option for first-time volunteers and works well for small groups — the work is physical but accessible, and new volunteers get up to speed quickly.
We Don’t Waste recovers hundreds of thousands of pounds of food annually that would otherwise go to waste. The Hub is the logistics center that connects recovered food to the nonprofits and community organizations equipped to distribute it.
