ALC - foodrescue

Darraugh Collins leads an army of Detroit-area volunteers to rescue millions of pounds of surplus food for those in need.

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.
