About us
Food Rescue Hero automates the time consuming, complicated and variable coordination of fresh retail food recovery so your team can reliably deliver more nutritious food to your community neighbors who need it most. Since 2016, the Food Rescue Hero Network has recovered 160M+ pounds of food, the equivalent of 130M+ meals, with 17 partners and a growing community of 51,000+ volunteers we call #FoodRescueHeroes. Launched in 2016, Food Rescue Hero was purposefully designed to automate the time consuming tasks associated with food recovery, to fuel growth and scaling potential. With Food Rescue Hero, coordination between food donors, non-profit partners and volunteer drivers becomes reliable, timely and transparent. Reliable, timely and transparent operations yield greater food waste prevention and shrink for real time data transparency and greater overall impact. Food Rescue Hero uniquely enables community food recovery efforts to have a greater impact on food waste, nutrition security and climate change on a local level, thereby contributing to our network's impact on our nation. Volunteer management, one of the most difficult aspects of food rescue to manage, is made nearly turnkey through the Food Rescue Hero app. Volunteer drivers get alerted when a food rescue is available near them and then are guided from donation pick up to delivery to a local non-profit, for unparalleled visibility and tracking. With commitment to human-centered design, each volunteer experiences an encouraging, positive app interaction that's contagious and fuels the movement, ultimately resulting in a 99% service level, which outperforms commercial transport rates. Our network is growing, giving even greater resources for each partner food rescue to do a lot, even if they have limited staff and resources. This makes a huge difference, especially at launch, to build community momentum and create even greater impact.

My Father’s Table in Minot, North Dakota has joined the Food Rescue Hero™ Network! The North Dakota-based food rescue organization is the eighteenth partner to join the Food Rescue Hero Network by adopting the use of the proprietary technology to coordinate food rescues and maintain detailed reporting. In ND, Feeding America estimates that 7.5% of children and 2.8% of seniors live in food insecure households. When the legislature amended the Good Samaritan Act in 2023 to allow surplus wholesome food to be distributed without the risk of liability, My Father’s Table was born. Welcome, My Father's Table! 💛 https://lnkd.in/eMgURWC9

We need to decrease our consumption–including how much food we waste. By producing less food & redirecting surplus to community members experiencing food insecurity, we can help #MoveTheDate!
This year, 1 August is #EarthOvershootDay. Unfortunately, that means humanity’s demand for ecological resources in a given year has exceeded what Earth can regenerate. Since the early 1970s, humanity has been in an ecological deficit, according to a report based on United Nations data. The first global “Earth Overshoot Day” fell on 25 December 1971. This date is brought forward little by little every year, significantly impacting reserves for future generations and underscoring our responsibility to act. Discover why there is still time to ditch this trend and why immediate action is crucial: https://lnkd.in/dGEbnM-C
