2022 Impact

Using our proprietary app, Food Rescue US has developed a simple solution to connect the vast amount of healthy, usable surplus food with the critical hunger demand. Our work builds engaged and empowered communities of individuals and organizations that want to make a difference by helping their neighbors in need and improving the health of our planet. Throughout our network of sites nationwide, we use our proprietary web-based app to engage volunteers to transfer surplus fresh food from local businesses to social service agencies serving individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Our technology-powered, community-driven approach enables us to prevent excess food from ending up in landfills, where it would contribute to warming the planet. Instead, we provide the freshest food possible to our social service agencies.
