Here at Gizzy Kai Rescue, we are passionate about the possibilities food rescue delivers for both our community and our environment. We rescue food that would otherwise be destined for landfill or animal feed, reducing food waste and redirecting the healthy edible food to those in need throughout the community.

This is a weekly (or causal) role to help our orchard/packhouse pickup volunteer drivers to pickup, load and unload crates of produce. It involves weighing and recording the weight of what has been collected either on paper or direct into our excel data recording. Respect for our primary producing rescue kai donors and their properties is essential.

Onboarding for this volunteering role commences in late November 2024. Volunteers will undergo an induction process before starting. You will then work alongside the volunteer driver for this task.

Join the crew of over 35 Gizzy Kai Rescue volunteers on a mission towards 'No Waste, No Hunger'! We proudly have volunteers ranging from 15 - 85 years, representing diverse backgrounds, skills, ethnicities and beliefs. We hold quarterly volunteer gatherings for those who wish to connect; e.g. morning tea, croquet, yoga, mid-winter lunch and more!
