40% of Food Is Wasted, Yet 1 in 5 People in Our Community Faces Food Insecurity
If any of this sounds familiar, Last Mile Food Rescue would like to hear from you.
From Throw Away to a Better Way
We understand that addressing a big problem like food insecurity might seem overwhelming. That’s why Last Mile Food Rescue brings together the power of technology and volunteers to deliver food that would otherwise be thrown away to our neighbors in need.
We connect the dots between sources of good food and agencies that distribute it, and make it fun and rewarding for volunteers along the way.
The Smart Solution to a Persistent Problem
Last Mile Food Rescue takes a volunteer- and technology-driven approach to rescuing fresh, desirable food in Greater Cincinnati. Our volunteers, we call them Food Rescue Heroes, deliver food donated by donors like grocery stores, restaurants, event venues, and school and corporate cafeterias to the agencies battling food insecurity in our community.
Diverting food from landfills just makes sense for everyone.
