Think volunteering takes too long, and you don't feel like you have an impact? Volunteer with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, and make the most impact in the shortest amount of time! Every day, millions of people go without having a proper meal, while 40% of the food that we produce goes into the garbage. Help someone have a meal by walking leftover food from local food businesses, to a nearby shelter in a 20 minute walk. Volunteering with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine for about 45 minutes can help feed 40 people! Volunteer with your team, and make even more of an impact by rescuing more food together!

By working with us, you can have your team have an exclusive experience with us, have a dedicated Lead Rescuer with you to guide you, and a meaningful team bonding experience.

Come help us remove crayfish from Tapia State Park! Crayfish are a non-native species to California, and they're considered invasive because they cause quite a bit of damage to the aquatic ecosystems. They prey on native species, reduce water quality, and cause problems with creek bed erosion. We need your help in trapping and removing the crayfish as well as picking up trash along the stream.

Registration is free, but required. Registered volunteers will receive an email confirmation with more details.

Have more questions? Contact us at volunteer@mountainstrust.org or call MRT Monday through Friday 8am to 4:30pm at (818) 591-1701 ext. 203.

Merazonia (www.merazonia.org) is a dynamic wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre located on 250 acres of Amazon rainforest, near Mera, Ecuador, South America. We combine passion for nature with a professional approach on animal care and release, along with rainforest conservation and wildlife monitoring.

Volunteers help us in the day-to-day care of the animals. But for those more interested in construction and maintenance there is also plenty of work! We are currently caring for well over 100 animals, including: capuchin, tamarin, red howler and woolly monkeys; many species of parrots and macaws; kinkajous and other small mammals such as sloths; and felines, such as a puma.
Because rehabilitation is an important part of what we do, the group of animals we look after often changes, with animals being released or moved to other refuges, depending on the care and environment they need. Merazonia is a rescue and rehabilitation centre true to its name and does not allow tourists into the centre for the welfare of the animals. Therefore, we completely depend on volunteers to help us take care of the animals and cover the costs of their food and medical care.
