We are a technology based, volunteer-driven, direct-transfer platform that is simple, sustainable, and replicable. Volunteer food rescuers across the country deliver fresh food from businesses that have too much to people who have too little.

A beautiful partnership between Food Rescue US - DC, Sodexo USA, Nestlé, and Howard University in the Nation’s Capital. Thank you!
Imagine the warmth and comfort 150 gallons of chicken noodle soup can bring to your community members struggling with food insecurity. On February 7, over 60 dedicated Howard University students and staff teamed up with Sodexo and Nestlé representatives to prepare and donate this incredible amount of soup to area food pantries during a Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation Big Soup event. Over the past four years, Big Soup has been held in 27 communities, and Howard University is the first HBCU and fourth university to host this impactful event. After receiving valuable lessons in food and knife safety from chefs, the volunteers spent four hours cooking before packaging the soup for donation. One-third of the donations went to the on-campus NOURISH HU food pantry, and Food Rescue US distributed the remaining donations through their network. #StopHunger #BigSoup #HowardUniversity #FoodDonation

After 15 impactful years in Miami’s restaurant scene, Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill has closed its doors—but its commitment to the community continues. In a powerful act of giving back, COO Dana Riccobono partnered with Food Rescue US South Florida, led by Ellen Bowen, to ensure that the restaurant’s surplus food—including their signature bacon-wrapped dates—went back into the community rather than to waste. This week’s food recovery effort was featured by CBS News Miami —check out the full coverage below! Every day, businesses like Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill make a difference by keeping high-quality food out of landfills and redirecting it to communities facing food insecurity. Join us in the movement to #FillPlatesNotLandfills. #FoodRescue #FoodWasteReduction #CommunityImpact #WeRescueTogether https://lnkd.in/eWnAAege
