Who we are:
Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a 501(c)3 nonprofit food recovery organization that aims to prevent consumable excess food from going to waste by diverting it to feed people instead of landfills! We match available food from businesses to the food needs of nearby human service agencies (HSAs) that provide necessary food assistance for people with zero or low income of all ages, races, cultures and religions. Our volunteer “Rescuers” use our food rescue app to transport the food, at no cost to the recipient organization.
