Bridging the gap between waste and want

In  2010 FOOD FOR FREE’s Produce Rescue Program:

* Distributed 1,000,000 pounds of food

* Partnered with 76 food programs in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville, MA

*Helped to feed 25,000 people every month

Food For Free rescues fresh food-food that might otherwise go to waste-and distributes it within the local emergency food system where it can reach those in need. Through a combination of food rescue, farming, and transportation services, we give food programs year-round access to fresh fruits and vegetables, while our delivery program brings food directly to isolated seniors and people with disabilities. Our programs address not only short-term hunger, but obesity, diet-related disease, and other long-term health effects of food insecurity and poor nutrition.
