** Say hello to the all-new Food Rescue Locator
------------------------------------------------------------
At Sustainable America, we are passionate about significantly reducing food waste. We’ve launched plenty of tools for individuals and communities to address their waste, from our I Value Food quiz and challenge ([link removed]) to dozens of resources ([link removed]) helping tackle specific types of food waste in the home.
But a significant amount of food waste happens before food even makes it to our fridges and plates. From farms to supermarkets to restaurants, surplus food is a huge problem, with only 3% of it ending up donated and distributed to people in need — illustrating just how critical it is that we support food rescue and recovery organizations. That’s where the Food Rescue Locator comes in.
Originally launched in 2016, the Food Rescue Locator ([link removed]) is a searchable, location-based online directory of organizations, groups and volunteer programs dedicated to rescuing surplus food and delivering it to food banks, pantries, and other organizations to help reduce food waste and address food insecurity. Since its initial launch, the locator has grown to include more than 300 listings across the nation.
Now, five years after bringing this useful tool to life, we’re pleased to unveil the all-new Food Rescue Locator! Rebuilt from the ground up to be more intuitive for food donors and food rescue organizations alike, the new Food Rescue Locator retains all the essential directory features while adding additional contextual data and functionality.
