Together, we can tackle two of the most pressing challenges of our time: food waste and food insecurity. Join us for #WeRescueTogether , our 2024 campaign to raise $425,000 to support Food Rescue US’s mission of preventing food waste, delivering meals, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This past year underscored the urgency of our work: ➡️ Food insecurity in the U.S. rose 7% in 2023, impacting 47 million people. ➡️ Methane from food in landfills accounts for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, driving climate change and extreme weather. At Food Rescue US, we know these challenges are immense, but we are making a difference together: ✔️ 168 million meals have been delivered to those in need since 2011. ✔️ Over 1 billion pounds of CO2eq prevented by rescuing food from landfills. With your support, we can do even more in 2024: ⭐ Deliver 6.8 million additional meals to agency partners. ⭐ Prevent 9 million pounds of CO2eq from entering the atmosphere. Let’s create change—one rescue at a time. Donate today and join the movement to fight hunger and protect our planet: https://lnkd.in/e2eiVMxu

Honored and proud to share my journey and story about Food Rescue US and our successful site in South Florida with Edible South Florida …reducing over 13 million lbs of edible surplus food(I stopped calling it food waste when I saw filet mignon being donated!) and keeping it from decomposing in landfills impacting our climate and instead delivering it to those in need. Making a Difference One Rescue At A Time! Thank you for all the support!

We're thrilled to share this excellent piece by CBS Evening News about the partnership between The World Bank and Food Rescue US - DC to transfer surplus food from their cafeteria to agencies serving people facing food insecurity in DC. This initiative demonstrates the power of partnerships to make a real difference in caring for our communities while reducing waste and maximizing resources for a healthier planet.

Yesterday was an inspiring day of Food Rescues in South Florida! 1. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market surplus food donations went to a Liberty City pantry and a Little Haiti church and stocked a Community refrigerator in North Beach. 2. Sprouts Farmers Market went to Caring Place Shelter in Broward and to The Salvation Army of Miami-Dade County in Allapattah. 3. Prepared sandwiches and bowls went from Miami Beach Convention Center Sodexo Live! to a Cuban church in Hialeah. 4. Surplus trays of food from Miami Marlins and loanDepot park Levy Restaurants and Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel went to a homeless shelter meal service. 5. Another Trader Joe's went to a child and family care center in Little Havana. 6. And yet another Trader Joe's went to Stvincent Depaul Society in Weston. Thank you to our passionate and reliable volunteer food rescuers! With no trucks, no warehouse, no sorting, we deliver fresh, nutritious food every day to those in need. Using an app technology, we are totally transparent where and when it is delivered, how many pounds and the CO2 equivalent offset helping to reduce emissions and help our environment. Remember US on #givemiamiday 11/21 and donate!

One of the most common concerns we hear from potential food donors is the fear of liability—many worry about being sued if donated food unintentionally causes harm. Some even mistakenly think donating surplus food is illegal. ⁠ ⁠ Good news 📣 ✨️ The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act protects individuals, businesses, and nonprofits that donate food in good faith. ⁠ ⁠ Dispelling this myth encourages more food donations and less waste. Click the link below to learn more about how this law supports food recovery and help us spread the word!⁠ https://lnkd.in/eBtsY6hh #foodrescueus #foodrecovery #fooddonation #goodsamaritan

🌍🍽️ Food Rescue US is thrilled to be the Food Waste Reduction partner of The Nest Climate Campus at the Javits Center this week during #ClimateWeekNYC !
