Food Rescue

Food rescue is the action of preventing good surplus food from being wasted by collecting it and redistributing it to non-profits working to feed people in need. 

Food rescue is our core mission

Food Rescue is the action of preventing good surplus food from being wasted by collecting it and redistributing it to feed people in need. 

We work with businesses across the food supply chain to reduce the amount of edible food going to waste, which in turn averts the release of millions of pounds of greenhouse gases. The food Second Harvest recovers is redirected to thousands of charities and non-profit organizations, ensuring more people have access to healthy food.

The Second Harvest Food Rescue App connects businesses with surplus food directly to non-profit organizations who put it to great use.
