Fauquier Food Rescue is a program of Northern Virginia Food Rescue. We aim to address the disconnect between food insecurity and food waste by rescuing food before it is wasted and redistributing it to it to organizations that serve communities in need. Our goal is to use our app-based technology to keep food out of the trash and get it into the hands of those who need it. Our initial emphasis is on building relationships with non-profit organizations and food donation partners in the county. We have already established strong partnerships with food banks through our Prince William and Fairfax food rescue programs and look forward to working closely with nonprofit partners in Fauquier.
After successfully launching Prince William Food Rescue as a new program under Action in Community Through Service (ACTS) in August 2019, ACTS has created Northern Virginia Food Rescue (NOVA-FR) as a subsidiary company to start duplicate programs in each county in Northern Virginia. NOVA-FR is leveraging our experience partnering with 412 Food Rescue in Pittsburgh, PA, and successfully implementing the Prince William Food Rescue program to establish individual county Food Rescue Programs (FRPs) and redistribution operations to improve food resiliency and accessibility for the entire region.
