Hole Food Rescue

Hole Food Rescue joined It Takes a Valley at their May Swap!

We distributed 1,095 pounds of rescued food to families at the event. We’re so grateful for partnerships like this that strengthen our community. 💚

Happy Earth Day from Hole Food Rescue! Reducing food waste is a core part of our mission and an important climate solution.

In the U.S., we throw away 60 million tons of food every year. Food is the #1 item in our landfills, making up 24% of everything that we throw away.

Wasted food emits methane gas - a greenhouse gas 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.

So far, Hole Food Rescue has rescued 3.6 million pounds of food from going to the landfill, reducing our community’s climate impact and feeding our neighbors at the same time.
