About Vancouver Food Runners

Our innovative Vancouver Food Runners app (powered by Food Rescue Hero) is an end-to-end system that matches food donors to nonprofit partners and mobilizes volunteers to efficiently and cost-effectively transport food between locations. Once there is a match between a food donation and a nonprofit partner that would like to receive it, the Vancouver Food Runners app alerts nearby volunteers of the available food rescue opportunity. The app guides volunteers through the rescue, providing built-in navigation and delivery verification, so volunteers can easily complete their rescue. We provide Metro Vancouver food businesses with a free, simple, and flexible way to redirect their surplus food to nonprofits that are providing critical social programming. From the businesses that generously donate their surplus food, to the dedicated volunteer drivers that provide the transportation, to the community partners who help us distribute the food, our food recovery program is a true community effort. VFR volunteers have delivered over 6 million pounds of food since we launched in 2020.
