Step 3.

Get an esky and go

As a volunteer doing food rescue for your local charity you will need to work out suitable times for food pick-ups from local food donors.

Here are some pointers on how to best collect and transport the food:

• Get yourself an esky or cooler bag in order to safely transport all collected food.
• Agree on suitable times for food pick-ups from local food donors.
• Transport the food within two hours of pick up to the charity so it can be eaten by someone in need.
• Make sure that someone will be at your charity to receive the food.
• All food rescuers need to understand safe food handling.

Your pick-ups contribute to reducing the amount of good food sent to landfill across Australia.
