More than 40 million individuals, including 9 million children, are food insecure in the United States. At the same time, 40% of food in the food system is WASTED! The need for our work has never been more vital. Food Rescue US is dedicated to reducing hunger and food waste (keeping food out of landfills and reducing greenhouse gasses). We engage volunteers and food donors through our proprietary web-based app to directly transfer nutritious excess food to social service agencies serving the food insecure. Food Rescue US is a national organization with 40+ sites across 20+ states and DC. Food rescuers pick-up excess food from local food donors, including grocery stores, restaurants, corporate dining facilities, and other food providers, and deliver it to local social service agencies providing for the food insecure. Rescuers use their own vehicles and select rescues scheduled at times that are convenient for them to pick-up and drop-off the excess food. The process is quick, simple, and incredibly rewarding. Interested in getting involved? Sign up at FoodRescue.us to start today and see a complete schedule of local food rescue opportunities.

Hartford, CT 06105
In the United States this year, it is estimated that 42 million people will experience food insecurity while we throw away 40% of our food supply. At a time when there is so much hunger and we are experiencing the effects of climate change firsthand, we are throwing away the very food that could feed those in need and reduce its impact on climate change. Using a web-based app, Food Rescue US engages volunteers to transfer fresh food surpluses from local businesses to social service agencies serving the food insecure. Food Rescue US - Hartford is searching for strong leaders to co-manage a well established and vibrant food recovery program in Hartford. The role of Site Director primarily involves creating and managing partnerships within the community. The role requires excellent organizational skills, comfort with technology, and, of course, some commitment of your time. While most of the work can be done on a very flexible schedule, it does require receiving and responding to emails, text messages, and calls in a timely manner. The Food Rescue US Site Directors bring different skill sets and experiences to our work, but they all share a passion for their community and our mission. Please reach out to Haley Schulman (haley@foodrescue.us) to further discuss this volunteer role.
