This Earth Month, we're celebrating food rescue as a climate solution that protects the planet and feeds neighbors. 🎉

We’re on a mission to rescue HALF A MILLION pounds of food this Earth Month to fight climate change and feed neighbors. Reaching this goal takes $20,000 in community support, and every gift, no matter the size moves us closer.

Here's how you can help us reach this goal:

Pick 10 friends, family members, or neighbors you'll invite to help reach this goal.
Click the Raise $250 button and set up a customized page to make it easy for your 10 people to give.
Share your story and belief in food rescue with your 10 people and invite them to give $25 to get us closer to rescuing half a million pounds!

BONUS: Raise 10 individual gifts of $25 through your page, and you'll be entered to win two tickets to see Jack Johnson live on July 3rd at The Pavilion at Star Lake. The winner will be announced on May 1st.

About 412 Food Rescue: Driven by the belief that good food belongs to people, not landfills, 412 Food Rescue launched in Pittsburgh, PA, in March 2015 to divert fresh food from going to waste by redirecting it to people facing food insecurity.

In the United States, as much as 40% of food produced is wasted, while 1 in 8 people go hungry. To date, 412 Food Rescue has diverted over 35 million pounds of food bound for the waste stream in Western Pennsylvania, the equivalent of more than 27 million meals, mitigating over 65 million pounds of CO2 emissions in the process. On a monthly basis, the organization works with over 654 food retailers and 480 nonprofit partners.

Today, 412 Food Rescue is the largest volunteer food rescue organization in the country with a growing community of 23,000+ volunteers. Since more than 80% of the food for pick up is fresh, timely delivery is essential. 412 Food Rescue developed an innovative, integrated platform, Food Rescue Hero, which includes a proprietary app that makes claiming food rescues easy and convenient, guiding each volunteer every step of the way from pick up to delivery. Food Rescue Hero is licensed for use at 18 food rescue organizations in North America.
