At 412 Food Rescue, we know that the climate crisis is overwhelming. But we also know there is a way forward. One powerful step is through food rescue. From nonprofit campaigns, corporate initiatives, state legislation, and big plans from federal agencies, the fight against food waste is getting more attention than ever, and rightly so – it’s a fast-acting climate solution. But the most effective efforts will involve widespread participation, and here’s the good news: all of us can help. Your local action has global impact. https://lnkd.in/eirdc-kD

Thank you so much Giant Eagle, Inc. for including 412 Food Rescue in this celebration of Giant Eagle’s newest store! Our mission is to rescue perfectly good food and deliver it quickly to people facing food insecurity, keeping it out of the landfill. As we look to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in 2025, we are so thankful for our terrific partnership with Giant Eagle from the start of our organization and their commitment to our retail food rescue efforts which has helped us grow our impact and feed more people every year. We have a goal to rescue 5M pounds of food this year, which is the equivalent of 6 million meals provided to people in our community who are facing food insecurity. Giant Eagle’s amazing donation of 100,000 pounds from their stores during this holiday season is going to help so many people have the type of holiday we all want - one filled with good food, family and friendships. Thanks again to everyone at Giant Eagle and our shared value of caring for our neighbors so that everyone can thrive!

This season, we invite you to become a Holiday Hero by donating your leftover food from corporate holiday parties, dinners, and events to 412 Food Rescue. If you find yourself with extra food after your corporate holiday gathering, simply reach out to us. Your donation will have an immediate impact on our community, bringing comfort and sustenance to families and individuals in need. 💚 https://lnkd.in/ecrPsBdy
