Mobile food market volunteer shift with We Don't Waste
Help set up, stock, and run a We Don't Waste pop-up food market Tuesday morning — neighbors shop for complimentary groceries at rotating Denver metro locations.
Why we picked this
Twice a week, We Don't Waste sets up a pop-up market where neighbors shop for free groceries in under an hour — on Tuesday, you're part of making that happen.
We Don’t Waste operates pop-up food markets twice a week at rotating outdoor locations across the Denver metro area. Volunteers help set up tents and tables, stock food displays, run stations, assist neighbors with wagon-based shopping, and break down the event at the end. The whole operation typically wraps up by midday.
Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for outdoor work and some light lifting. The exact location for each shift is posted on the VolunteerHub sign-up portal after registration. Spanish-speaking volunteers are especially helpful at check-in stations.
We Don’t Waste recovers surplus food from grocery stores, farms, and distributors that would otherwise go to landfill. The market format distributes that food directly to community members at no cost — the approach is efficient, low-barrier, and neighborhood-centered.
