Alpha Gamma Delta: Volunteer Spotlight

The ladies of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority at Seton Hall University are Table to Table’s February Volunteer Spotlight.

“Alpha Gamma Delta partners with Table to Table to support our shared mission of combatting food insecurity within out community,” the sorority said. “Committed to reducing food waste, we strive to ensure that surplus food is redirected to those who need it most.”

Alpha Gamma Delta made more than 500 PB&J sandwiches during Table to Table’s first Greek college volunteer initiative earlier this month. The sandwiches were donated to Orange United Methodist Church.

Also, the sorority plans to partner with us more in the future. They want to host another sandwich-making event, along with a food drive.

Volunteering Like Alpha Gamma Delta Did

Signing up to be a Table to Table volunteer is easy. Julie Kinner, Table to Table’s Vice President of Operations, said all you have to do is download the Table to Table I-Rescue app, powered by Food Rescue Hero, on your phone to become a food rescue hero! You’ll complete a simple registration process and volunteer agreement, and then you can get started. The app walks you through every step! This is what Veer and his team uses.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome to volunteer with our food rescue program. However, the driver must have a valid driver’s license, and a valid vehicle registration and insurance. 

Since we launched, more than 350 volunteers have completed more than 9,600 rescues and delivered more than 2 million pounds of donated food that would have been thrown away.

As New Jersey’s first and largest food rescue, our mission is to reduce food waste and provide nourishment to our food-insecure neighbors throughout North Jersey. We rescue millions of pounds of fresh food annually that would otherwise be wasted and end up in landfills, contributing to climate change. We deliver it to partner organizations who support the nearly 1 million people in our area who need it most.

Together, we can reduce food waste in our home and make a positive impact on the planet. Every little bit of effort—no matter how small—leads to change.
