All In One Accessible App

The Food Rescue US web-based app connects food donors, volunteers and receiving agencies seamlessly and with great care and flexibility. Through the leadership of local site directors and best practices, together, we ensure nutritious food reaches communities in need; all the while protecting the planet.

Schedules are busy and can vary. That’s why our app provides maximum flexibility. Claim a single rescue, adopt a reoccurring rescue and adjust as needed to suit your schedule. It’s this simplicity that is incredibly powerful and has enabled the Food Rescue US community to save over 35 million meals, and counting, annually.
