food rescue

Food rescue is the process of retrieving surplus edible food that would otherwise be wasted from restaurants, grocery stores, farms, or events, and redirecting it to organizations that serve those in need, such as food banks or shelters. It aims to reduce food waste, improve food security, and promote sustainability by connecting resources with people who can benefit from them. Through careful handling and distribution, food rescue programs help ensure excess food is safely used to nourish those facing hunger instead of being discarded.
