Rescuing Leftover Cuisine

The mission of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) is to redistribute excess food to people experiencing food insecurity. RLC uses a custom web application to crowdsource community members as rescuers to transport energy-dense food from Food Donor partners to Nonprofit Recipients. Our technology platform provides an efficient, streamlined user experience for all participants, each of whom are equipped with an online account and dashboard to view real-time metrics, schedule and cancel food donations, and more, in our efforts to feed people instead of landfills. Since inception in 2013, RLC has expanded to serve 9 cities and rescued over 12 million pounds of food, providing over 10.1 million meals to food insecure individuals and households from low-income, underserved, and marginalized communities.
