What I don't know is why more cities don't start this same type of volunteer led program
I don't know whether we have an exact match, but here in NYC we have City Harvest (http://cityharvest.org/), which collects leftover food from restaurants, greenmarkets, etc. and distributes it to soup kitchens/homeless shelters. There's also a Freegan (http://www.nypress.com/article-13739-dumpster-dining.html) demimonde :-)
FoodNet, etc.
