We participate in food rescue and redistribution projects that rescue surplus food near expiration and get it to people in need, collecting extra food that would otherwise be thrown away and giving it to local food pantries and programs. It helps fight hunger by getting good food to people who need it.
Food rescue refers to the practice of collecting surplus edible food that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it to people in need. This helps reduce food insecurity in local communities by providing nutritious meals to individuals and families struggling with hunger.
Key aspects of food rescue programs include:
Business has excess food they can no longer sell and will be disposed.
Business contacts local food program to donate unsellable food items.
Food Pantry/Program distributes this food to local residents in need.
