Rescuing Leftover Cuisine works to eliminate wasted food and “feed people, not landfills” by connecting businesses that have excess food with nonprofits serving food-insecure people. In the process, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine also works to reduce the impacts of climate change. Volunteers support this process by picking up excess food from food donors — typically, retailers, restaurants, and other institutions — and bringing it to delivery locations.

Volunteer activities have included:

• Leading/organizing food rescue events (sporadic or recurring)

• Short trips picking up and delivering food via foot, bike, bus, or car
