Food Rescue Program
''Food Rescue is whatever you think that you're going to throw out. We show up and we get day’s end.''
George Ortiz, Founder
What started with one food distributor in 2014 has grown into a movement. Today, we’re partnered with leading restaurants and retailers across Rhode Island and Massachusetts, transforming potential waste into nourishing meals for our community.
