Volunteers

Waste Not Want Not is a volunteer-based organization located in Clay County, just south of Jacksonville, Florida, with 250 volunteers who together donate over 450 hours each week to rescue and distribute food to those in need.  It is their willingness to help that allows Waste Not Want Not to serve people in 14 counties in North Florida.

Waste Not volunteers come in all ages and stages. Although most of our volunteers are newly-retired and more-senior seniors,  we are happy to welcome students working towards scholarships, individuals providing court-ordered community service, adults with differing abilities, families volunteering together.  All are critical to the success of our mission, to our ability to rescue food whenever it is offered and distribute it promptly to those seeking food assistance.

The dedication of Waste Not volunteers is so impressive that our volunteers have received many awards over the years at the Reinhold Foundation’s Celebrate Clay event that honors the top Clay County volunteer (Peggy Bryan Volunteer of the Year) and two runner-ups (Judges’ Choice Volunteer Awards) every year.
