About this app

40% of food goes to waste while 1 in 7 in goes hungry. Food rescue heroes help to end food waste and hunger.

In as little as 30 minutes of your time, you can rescue perfectly good food from going to waste and deliver it to nonprofits who serve those who are food insecure.

Connect to your existing social media accounts to sign up to be a food rescue hero.

Set your preferences on when and where you can do food rescues.

Get alerts when rescues become available. Opt in to rescues that fit your schedule. Rescue everyday, every week or just give it a try.

Food rescue heroes get information on where to pick up the food and where to drop it off—we guide you every step of the way.

The app gives you information about the work that the nonprofit you are delivering to. And because you drop off at directly to the organization that will distribute the food, you see the impact you have made on hunger.

Take a selfie with your rescue and share on social media to spread the word about Food Rescue Hero and inspire your friends to become food rescue heroes!

Very unstable, crashes a lot, freezes when I switch to any other app, needs restart basically every time I try to anything

What’s new

- It used to be too easy to drop a template—that yellow button was hard to resist. Now it’s slightly more difficult to inadvertently drop a recurring rescue when you just want to request a sub.
- Our app went rogue, practically extorting you for notification permissions in exchange for access to certain rescues. Our engineers have successfully neutralized the threat.
- Mobile users on Android weren’t able to add a profile photo. But we want to see your lovely faces!
