Food Rescue Project
We are working to preserve edible food rescued from grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and private orchards & farms that is overstock that cannot be sold quickly or stored until it can be sold. We rescue the food, bring it to a community kitchen, and invite members of the community to can or otherwise prepare or preserve the food. The food is then distributed to people in need, or sold at farmers markets with 100% of profits going to the local food banks. We welcome donations of canning jars, lids & rings; sugar, salt, white vinegar, pectin; kitchen or canning equipment.
Reduce Waste
In the U.S., an estimated
30 to 40% of the food supply goes uneaten, much of it still safe to eat.
Feed People
If a grocery store has bread or produce that won't sell before its "best by" date but is still
safe to eat, a food rescue organization can collect it the same day and get it to
people in need.
Save Our Planet
When food decomposes in landfills, it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
