In the U.S., 42 million people face hunger-while 40% of our food goes to waste. Food Rescue US - Metro Lansing is closing that gap by rescuing surplus fresh food and delivering it to local agencies serving those in need.
We’re looking for a volunteer with solid tech and people skills to partner with an experienced team member-about 5 hours a week. Tasks include:
Managing weekly food rescues via our web-based app
Adding/updating donor or agency info
Ensuring all rescues are claimed
Helping find last-minute rescue coverage
Most rescues happen in the morning, 7 days a week, including holidays-and we’ve never missed one. We're nearly at 2,000 rescues in under two years. Join our seasoned leadership team to keep it going strong!
If interested, please send an email to Valerie@FoodRescue.US with questions and to set up a time to discuss.

Mission Statement
Food Rescue US is committed to ending American food insecurity by directly transferring fresh, usable food that would have otherwise been thrown away from restaurants, grocers and other food industry sources to food insecure families throughout the U.S.
Description
Food Rescue US exists as a platform for the rescue of healthy surplus food, to be direcctly transferred to those in need. Hunger is no longer just a challenge to the homeless and jobless, hunger happens near us; it happens to families we know, to people with jobs and homes who are trying desperately to make life work.
What Can We Do?
Join us! Become a food rescuer and help those in need in your own community!
This platform is a toolbox of information and we focus on training, technology, and coordination to make volunteering and donating as simple and effective as possible. We're not saying that ending unnecessary hunger in our communities will be easy, but we do believe it's simple and that all of our efforts when combined form something substantial. In this case, since we began, that is over 17 million meals delivered and 28 million pounds of food saved from landfill.
