Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Rescuing Leftover Cuisine Inc

RLC

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a nonprofit food rescue organization dedicated to eliminating both food waste and hunger. Our food rescue events typically last 30 minutes and take place all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Help your community stop food waste and fight hunger by bringing excess food to homeless shelters. You will be walking with trays of excess food, which would have been thrown out by the restaurant, to the nearest homeless shelter.

A Rescuer Associate commits to leading 10 food rescue events each week for a minimum of 3 months. They always lead the same events every week. Rescuer Associates are trained and paid $8 per food rescue event.
