The Global Meaningful Travel Map
412 Food Rescue
OUR EXPERIENCES
We offer easy, flexible opportunities via our 412 Food Rescue app. Volunteers download it to see what rescues are available and then can immediately claim a food rescue and be on their way!
ABOUT US
We believe good food belongs to people not landfills. Our volunteers rescue perfectly good food from businesses that have surplus and they deliver it to designated nonprofits serving people who are facing food insecurity.
OUR IMPACT
Our volunteers have helped us rescue over 36 million pounds of food. That food, the equivalent of 30 million meals, has nourished our communities helping people who are facing food insecurity meet their needs. By keeping it out of a landfill we've also prevented 74m pounds of harmful emissions.
Our app makes it so easy for people to volunteer. There is no need to plan ahead or commit to anything. Volunteers can look for a rescue that fits into their plans and their schedule. Our volunteers find the rescues incredibly meaningful as they are personally making an impact. AND its a great way to see the city and get into neighborhoods you might otherwise not visit.
