关于我们
Food Rescue Hero automates the time consuming, complicated and variable coordination of fresh retail food recovery so your team can reliably deliver more nutritious food to your community neighbors who need it most. Since 2016, the Food Rescue Hero Network has recovered 160M+ pounds of food, the equivalent of 130M+ meals, with 17 partners and a growing community of 51,000+ volunteers we call #FoodRescueHeroes. Launched in 2016, Food Rescue Hero was purposefully designed to automate the time consuming tasks associated with food recovery, to fuel growth and scaling potential. With Food Rescue Hero, coordination between food donors, non-profit partners and volunteer drivers becomes reliable, timely and transparent. Reliable, timely and transparent operations yield greater food waste prevention and shrink for real time data transparency and greater overall impact. Food Rescue Hero uniquely enables community food recovery efforts to have a greater impact on food waste, nutrition security and climate change on a local level, thereby contributing to our network's impact on our nation. Volunteer management, one of the most difficult aspects of food rescue to manage, is made nearly turnkey through the Food Rescue Hero app. Volunteer drivers get alerted when a food rescue is available near them and then are guided from donation pick up to delivery to a local non-profit, for unparalleled visibility and tracking. With commitment to human-centered design, each volunteer experiences an encouraging, positive app interaction that's contagious and fuels the movement, ultimately resulting in a 99% service level, which outperforms commercial transport rates. Our network is growing, giving even greater resources for each partner food rescue to do a lot, even if they have limited staff and resources. This makes a huge difference, especially at launch, to build community momentum and create even greater impact.

Transport is a key challenge in food rescue. In this session, we'll explore various approaches to securing the vehicles needed to move food at scale—whether through purchasing your own fleet, borrowing, or partnering with others. Discover how rescuing food by the truckload can significantly increase the amount of fresh food you provide to the people you serve, and learn practical tips to maximize your organization's capacity and impact.

Urgent action is needed to reduce food waste to address the climate crisis and meet the 2030 goals set by the global community. But a recent study published in Science Magazine and covered in the Washington Post notes that of five states with food waste bans, only one has been successful. The bridge between good intentions and success is well-known to those in the food recovery industry. By looking through the lens of this growing field, we can see what governments continue to fail to grasp about scaling solutions and how we can actually succeed.

There are many barriers to achieving food and nutrition security, such as limited time, cooking skills, access to a kitchen/equipment, etc. Prepared food can help address many of these challenges, but it can also be difficult to rescue. In this session, you'll hear from three organizations that specialize in rescuing prepared food and understand the unique benefits it offers to those in need. Learn how these organizations are overcoming the challenges of rescuing prepared food and gain practical ideas for implementing similar strategies in your own food recovery efforts.
