Created by a food rescue,
for all food rescues.
Technology that works – because we use it, too.
Food Rescue Hero was built by a nonprofit, for nonprofits. Our platform continues to power 412 Food Rescue by scaling our ability to distribute surplus food in Pittsburgh while simultaneously making logistics easy for dispatchers, food donors, nonprofit distribution partners, and volunteers.
And it’s designed to do the same for you.
A national community of food recovery peers + resources
The Food Rescue Hero Network is a collective of food rescue organizations and allied organizations with a shared mission to scale food recovery—to measurably reduce food waste, food insecurity and impact climate change.
When you adopt our platform, you also join a national community of food recovery leaders. We provide onboarding, training, and ongoing support to help you succeed.
