The Solution
How to End Hunger in America
The challenges are clear. More than 50 million Americans are food insecure. More than 40 billion meals are wasted a year.
The solution is simple. We need to work together to rescue would-be wasted food and deliver it to our food insecure neighbors. That’s where the Food Rescue US app comes into play. It’s an innovative and elegant solution for our busy, on-demand world.
Wherever you are – and however much time you have – the app lets you play a critical role in rescuing and delivering meals. Wherever you are, you’re in the right place to help end hunger.
How It Works
Donate
If you’re a restaurant, grocer or other food provider, list surplus food that you want to donate.
Deliver
If you are a volunteer with a vehicle, see the complete schedule of food rescues and choose deliveries that work for you.
Feed
If you are a receiving agency such as a community kitchen or food pantry, post your needs and find food to match them.
