Fight Food Waste and Food Insecurity: Be a Food Rescuer in SW Florida!

More than 47 million individuals, including 9 million children, are food insecure in the United States. At the same time, 40% of food in the food system is WASTED!

The need for our work has never been more vital.

Food Rescue US is dedicated to reducing hunger and food waste (keeping food out of landfills and reducing greenhouse gasses). We engage volunteers and food donors through our proprietary web-based app to directly transfer nutritious excess food to social service agencies serving the food insecure. Food Rescue US is a national organization with 40+ sites across 20+ states and DC.

Food rescuers pick-up excess food from local food donors, including grocery stores, restaurants, corporate dining facilities, and other food providers, and deliver it to local social service agencies providing for the food insecure. Rescuers use their own vehicles and select rescues scheduled at times that are convenient for them to pick-up and drop-off the excess food.

The process is quick, simple, and incredibly rewarding. Interested in getting involved? Sign up at FoodRescue.us to start today and see a complete schedule of local food rescue opportunities.
