Denver Food Rescue Details
Denver Food Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit in Denver, Colorado. Our mission is to produce health equity with Denver neighborhoods. We utilize fresh edible whole fruits & veggies that would would otherwise be thrown away from retailers & directly distribute them to neighborhoods in the Denver Metro area with barriers to healthy food access. All of our No Cost Grocery Programs are co-created and led by residents of the communities! Programs are located at schools, community centers, and after school programs.Health equity:At DFR we believe that health is a right that should be enjoyed by everyone. The current system creates health gaps between people, particularly impacting low-income people and people of color. There is no blanket solution to improve the health of our communities. Instead, we need to be intentional about creating access to the services and education each person needs to make informed health decisions. We believe in a world in which a person's health is not determined by their race, income, or geography.Food security:Each individual deserves to have control of their own food situation. This means to have enough food for themselves and their families, and to not stress about running out. Whether this self determination is made possible through increased wages or increased access, our communities deserve to have the amount and type of food that best serves them.Integration of feedback:DFR believes in constant learning and improvement. We recognize that we alone do not have the answers. Lasting solutions will only be formed through consistent and authentic engagement with people who are experiencing the issues we exist to address. DFR is deferential to the perspectives of these individuals and holds them to the highest regard. We are also informed by evidence-based, scientific research and internal evaluation practices. Where all three of these perspectives overlap (community, scientific, and internal) lies the framework for our actions.
