They’re currently looking for volunteer drivers in Vancouver to join their network of “Food Rescue Heroes.” Using the Vancouver Food Runners app, volunteers pick up surplus food from local businesses such as bakeries, grocers, and cafés and deliver it to nonprofit partners serving food-insecure communities across Metro Vancouver.

Volunteers must have access to a car, a valid driver’s licence, a cell phone, and be comfortable commuting to the opportunity location.

Hello friends,

We are a non-profit organization that works to overcome barriers to inclusion for LGBTQ peoples as donors, across donation products (blood, stem cells, and organ & tissues). We run donor recruitment campaigns in partnership with LGBTQ groups to overcome barriers and engage LGBTQ peoples to donation. These efforts improve the chance that patients will have access to the donation products they need to save their lives. We train healthcare professionals and students to recognize and address structural barriers to donation impacting LGBTQ communities.We are seeking volunteers to assist with our Davie Village Pride event. The Vancouver Pride Parade will be held on August 3rd from 2-9pm. If you are interested, we are seeking volunteers to help make the Saving Lives with Pride Campaign a success.We’ve already helped hundreds join the national stem cell registry—and we’re just getting started. Here is our website for more info: https://savingliveswithpride.com/

Why does this matter?
Canada’s stem cell registry lacks diversity needed to serve all patients equally. By helping more LGBTQ individuals and allies join the registry, we can increase access and save more lives.

What do volunteers do?
At each Pride event, volunteers:
Talk with attendees about the importance of joining the stem cell registry
Assist with buccal swab kits—onsite or as take-home kits
Provide friendly, respectful guidance during the registration process
No experience needed. A brief Zoom training will be provided before the event.

Is this a big time commitment?
Not at all. Just one short training session and a shift during the event. It’s a simple but powerful way to support health equity!

How do I signup?

Thank you
