Food Rescue Hero is a technology platform that helps food recovery and hunger organizations launch and scale food recovery. In the United States, 40 percent of food produced is wasted while one in nine people goes hungry. Focusing on the logistical challenges of retail food recovery, Food Rescue Hero addresses food waste, hunger and climate change through technology-coordinated, community-powered networks. Through the app, volunteer drivers are alerted when surplus food is available to be picked up near them. Since its launch in 2016, the app has redirected more than 14 million pounds of perfectly good food from landfills to the people who need it. Food Rescue Hero is based in Pittsburgh where 412 Food Rescue, our pilot program has over 800 food donor organizations, 600 nonprofit partners and now measurably impacts food insecurity in Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Northern Virginia, Los Angeles, Vancouver and soon to be, Cincinnati.
