40% of America's food goes to waste, while 1 in 5 people go hungry right here in Cuyahoga County. Join us in the fight to end hunger!

Hunger Network Food Rescue relies solely on volunteers to transport food donations from donor sites, such as grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, and produce distributors, to our nonprofit partner recipients, including emergency food centers, community centers, healthcare organizations, schools and libraries. To get started, please visit Become a Food Rescue Hero - Hunger Network where you can download our Food Rescue Hero App. Once you complete registration, you can view and claim rescues which are listed according to date, time and locations all around the Cleveland area. Each rescue only takes an hour!

This opportunity requires the use of a smart phone to use the app, along with a vehicle, current driver's license and auto insurance. Food Rescue operates 7 days/week, with rescues becoming available on a regular basis. Please check the app frequently or turn on notifications for your area.
