In a country where millions go hungry every day and vast amounts of food are needlessly discarded, food recovery presents a pragmatic and compassionate solution. Yet, amidst the discussion surrounding food waste and food insecurity, the potential of food recovery remains largely unknown to much of the US, and therein lies a powerful opportunity.
We are pleased to share our 2022 Impact Report highlighting what we accomplished together last year. Our work is very hands-on and collaborative, with thousands of people choosing to participate in order to help their communities and preserve our planet. Last year, our network of sites around the country rescued 32+ million pounds of healthy, surplus food and provided 26+ million meals to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. This is indeed a win/win for all.
We could not be prouder of the impact that was accomplished by our network in 2021. Thank you to everyone who contributed to helping us grow!
Columbus, OH— Hot Chicken Takeover (HCT) has partnered with Food Rescue US to provide meals to Central Ohio residents who suffer from food insecurity through their annual Pay It Forward program.
The Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) announced that the Good Food for All program will bring more than 610,000 servings of high-quality fruits and vegetables to over 1,000 families in Columbus with the help of local distribution partner Food Rescue US. Expanding on last year’s successful COVID-19 Fresh Food Fund, the Good Food for All program is designed to provide nourishing, high-quality produce to Columbus families in need, while creating a platform to raise awareness for the need for long-term changes to the food system in pursuit of health equity.
We are pleased to share our 2020 Impact Report that presents our shared work over the past year, including our COVID-19 response. Everyday we are inspired by the individuals and organizations that have chosen to partner with Food Rescue US to further our dual missions: reducing hunger and food waste. Thank you for participating in this important work.
