I meet Last Mile Food Rescue volunteer Rachel Moore at the back dock of Clifton Market. We're here for a pickup. It's one of dozens volunteers are doing throughout the day.
Moore got her start this winter when she saw a friend post about her volunteer work with Last Mile on social media. She was looking to do good after leaving a career as a special education teacher. She missed making an impact.
"The thing that I've been surprised by is how grateful the people who are donating are," says Moore. "Even just the people who are working at UDF or Kroger they're saying 'thank you so much for getting this; I hate throwing this away, you used to have to throw it away and it would kill me,' so they're really grateful that it's going to a good place."
