Our proprietary web-based app allows nonprofits like yours to scale your food recovery efforts each year. By becoming a Food Rescue US licensee, you not only gain access to technical support but also become part of a national network of peers, connecting through internal messaging and engaging quarterly meetings. Food Rescue US is not a source of food, but rather a web-based app and network that helps you run your food recovery program more efficiently. Food Rescue US licensees connect food donors with social service agencies to prevent food waste and provide food to those in need. Using our simple and efficient proprietary app, food donors register available fresh food, social service agencies communicate their food needs and details for delivery, and volunteers sign up for a “food rescue.” Once a match is made with a food donation opportunity and a social service agency, a volunteer rescuer self-schedules to pick up the food from the donor and delivers it directly to the local social service agency serving the community. In the United States this year, it’s estimated we will generate 86.6 million tons of surplus food. When this food is sent to landfills, it rots and breaks down into methane- a potent greenhouse gas. At a time when over 33 million people are food insecure and we are experiencing the effects of climate change firsthand, we are throwing away the very food that could feed those in need and reduce its impact on climate change.
