Volunteer as a Courier with your local Nonprofit

Approving couriers helps your local nonprofit manage their ability to pick up garden produce donations. They’ll be in touch shortly to discuss the specifics of their program.

Thank you for your interest in being both a Courier and a Gardener! Our operating partners adapt Fresh Food Connect to work for their community and organization. Sometimes all Courier slots are filled or they have a different method of accepting the donations. To create a Gardener account, you’ll first need to request deletion of your Courier account by sending an email to info@freshfoodconnect.org. Once your Courier account is removed, you can create a fresh account as a Gardener.

Sometimes the nonprofit has all the couriers they need or they don’t offer a pick up service. We encourage you to reach out to them directly to see if there are other opportunities to support their work.

You can change your Password in the “Profile” tab, under “Profile Administration” -> “Reset Password”

After logging into your Courier account on the app, from the Home page, select “View and Claim Today’s Pickups.” Select All or Select the donations you will be picking up individually.

Tap on the item in question to open the details, and then tap the green speech bubble next to the Gardener to start a chat conversation. The Gardener’s phone number is also listed and you can call / text them directly.

Take a photo of the donation (Optional). Add the number of pounds. Select “Confirm Pickup & Complete Route.” 

Select “Report Issue,” add the issue with the donation, and select “Report Issue.”

Yes! Select the items you will be picking up or “Select All.” You will be able to rearrange the pick up order on the next screen.

When that donation stop is ready to pick up, select “Cancel.” This will unclaim the item for another courier to be able to claim.

Your recent deliveries are visible under the Donations tab. For older donations, scroll to the bottom and select "See More."
