Fridge the Gap: How a Community Fridge Initiative Doubled In Size to Increase Fresh Food Access Nationwide
What began as a small initiative to streamline the redistribution of fresh food, and create a more just, accessible, and sustainable food system, has quickly become a transformative program—reaching far more people and communities than originally imagined—with thanks to the generosity of the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation.
Bridging Research and Action: Food Rescue US Partners with RECIPES
At Food Rescue US, our mission has always been simple but powerful: rescue fresh, usable food that would otherwise go to waste, and deliver it to individuals and families who need it most. Along the way, we’ve seen how food recovery benefits communities, supports food security, and reduces the environmental burden of waste. Now, thanks to a new research partnership with RECIPES (Resilient, Equitable and Circular Innovations with Partnership and Education Synergies), we’re combining our on-the-ground action with groundbreaking academic research to better understand the “why” behind food recovery; and how we can make our efforts even more effective.
