Lend a Hand

Thank you for your interest in joining Loaves & Fishes’ team of volunteers. We rely on volunteers to rescue food from more than 100 area restaurants and grocery stores and deliver that food directly to more than 100 local organizations feeding the hungry. We greatly value your contribution as a volunteer and couldn’t exist without it.

Become a Food Rescuer

Loaves & Fishes Food Rescuers

    - Are at least 18 years of age
    - Have a valid South Carolina driver's license
    - Maintain vehicle insurance
    - Operate their own vehicle and pay for their own gas

Most food rescue routes are run in the morning hours between 8:30am and 10:30am. Volunteers typically pick up at one donor site and deliver directly to their assigned agency.

Food rescue volunteers are responsible for reporting their poundage and food type information directly to Loaves & Fishes. There are several reporting methods available, including Internet reporting.

Special Event Volunteers

Loaves & Fishes volunteers also support the BI-LO Charity Classic and a number of other events in our area. Many of these organizations contribute to Loaves & Fishes in proportion to the number of volunteers and volunteer hours that are contributed in the name of Loaves & Fishes.
