Social Media Intern - Fall 2018

Save to Favorites

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, Inc. ("RLC") is a new non-profit food rescue organization based in New York City that delivers leftover food from restaurants and caterers to local agencies such as homeless shelters and soup kitchens in an effort to reduce and eliminate food waste. We have thus far delivered over 415,000 pounds of food with the lowest cost per delivery in the industry. Our business model is centered around four stages: (1) proactively seek out businesses with leftover food and encourage them to donate, (2) deliver excess, wholesome food and bring it directly to homeless shelters and soup kitchens, (3) use our expertise in the food rescue industry to consult each partner different ways to manage inventory / ordering system to reduce food waste, (4) partners successfully graduate from the RLC food rescue program which reduces food waste and saves costs.
