Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a 501(c)3 nonprofit food recovery organization that aims to prevent consumable excess food from going to waste by diverting it to feed people instead of landfills!

Our volunteer "Rescuers" use our food rescue app to transport the food, at no cost to the recipient organization.
