The Food Rescue Hero app was developed to stop food waste and provide for those who would otherwise go without. The app is an effortless communication platform that notifies volunteers when there’s food ready to be picked up and delivered. It allows our community members to volunteer on their time when it’s convenient. It’s just one of the ways we say YES to answering the need for healthy food and a healthier planet.

As the video describes, it takes an hour or less to deliver good food to our neighbors in need. If you have extra time while on a break or waiting for your kid to get out of school, why not become a hero? It really is as simple as opening the app, claiming a rescue, and hopping in the car! 

As the founder of the platform, Lea Lizirondo, says in the interview, “[Food waste] is an absolutely solvable problem.” 

But it’s only solvable if we all do our part, or in the words of White Pony Express: all of us taking care of all of us!
