Boulder Food Rescue takes fresh produce that would otherwise be wasted to communities throughout Boulder County that live with food insecurity, by bike! We are shifting the paradigm of food assistance work. By taking food to where the people are instead of making people come to the food, BFR has been able to create community resiliency, leadership development opportunities and eliminate many barriers that individuals face in getting food. BFR rescues over 500,000 lbs of food and distributes to over 6,000 people in Boulder.
