Food Justice Project

Since the closing of our Free Grocery Store, Sustainable Renton has continued to move thousands of pounds of gleaned food each week to relief organizations all around South King County! This rescued food directly supports nearly a dozen humanitarian organizations in and around Renton!

We have volunteer opportunities to help glean, sort, and distribute rescued food to help fight food insecurity.

If you would like to volunteer, click below for more information!

We are always looking for volunteers to weed, water, turn compost piles, or lay wood chips on the garden paths. Any of these jobs can happen on any day for any amount of time that you have available. Fill out the volunteer interest form below!
