412 Food Rescue

412 Food Rescue is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing food waste by recovering surplus food and delivering it to those in need within the community. Since its inception in 2015, the organization has mobilized thousands of volunteers through the Food Rescue Hero app, successfully rescuing over 250 million pounds of food, equivalent to more than 31 million meals.

In addition to addressing food insecurity, 412 Food Rescue is committed to environmental sustainability, as food waste contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions in landfills. By transforming surplus food into vital resources for community nonprofits, the organization not only feeds people but also fosters a more sustainable future.
