Share Your Food Rescue Stories!
Calling all Food Rescue US volunteers! We know that people like you are the driving force behind the Food Rescue US mission. To celebrate and showcase our incredible volunteers, we want to turn the spotlight on all of you!
Share your story:
We are inviting our volunteers to share their inspirations, insights, and experiences through short videos. Your stories are powerful, and by sharing them, you can inspire others and spread the word about how we’re filling plates instead of landfills. Plus, it’s a fun way to connect with the wider Food Rescue US community!
How can you participate?
- Choose your prompt: There are five prompts listed below. Pick one that resonates with you the most.
- Film your story: Use your phone to record a brief video (1-2 minutes) answering your chosen prompt. Nothing fancy- just speak from the heart! Be sure to include your name and the city where you volunteer.
- Share your video: There are 2 ways to share:
– Instagram: Post your video using the hashtag #WhatsYourWhy. Be sure to tag our @FoodRescueUS handle so we can share your stories!
– Google Drive: Upload your video directly to our shared Google Drive folder. We’ll feature these videos on our social platforms. This is a great option if you don’t have a lot of time or experience with creating videos.
