Mobile food market volunteer shift with We Don't Waste
Set up, stock, and staff a free pop-up market distributing rescued produce across Denver. Twice-weekly rotating locations. Outdoor work, all ages. Spanish speakers welcome.
Why we picked this
Twice-weekly pop-up markets bringing free rescued food directly to Denver neighborhoods — setup, stocking, and helping shoppers. Spanish is helpful at check-in but not required.
We Don’t Waste runs free pop-up food markets twice each week at rotating locations around Denver, distributing produce and food that would otherwise go to waste. Volunteers help set up tents and food stations, staff the market during distribution, assist shoppers using wagons to carry food, and break everything down at the end.
Markets are primarily outdoors, moved inside when the weather demands it. The work involves moderate lifting and standing. Spanish-speaking volunteers are especially helpful at check-in, though it’s not a requirement. Sign up through the VolunteerHub portal to see available dates and specific locations — shifts fill up, so browse early.
This is one of the more active and community-facing volunteer roles in Denver: you’re outside, in a neighborhood, handing food directly to people who need it.
