what we do
We Rescue Food
Using our web-based app, we engage volunteers to transfer fresh food surpluses from local businesses to social service agencies serving the food insecure.
BECOME A FOOD RESCUER
We Help The Environment
Food waste remains one of the top solutions to global warming. Currently, food waste contributes 8 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions.
BECOME A FOOD DONOR
We create community
Our model empowers communities to serve themselves with the support of our app. All food donors, rescuers, and agency partners are members of the communities where we operate.
