Supply Hive Food Rescue 2.0.1

Serving the Greater Des Moines Area

In the context of rising food waste, where an estimated 40% of food is discarded while 1 in 7 households face hunger, initiatives like #FoodRescueHero aim to bridge this gap.

Volunteering as a food rescuer requires only 30 minutes of your time. Participants can collect excess food from local suppliers and deliver it to nonprofits dedicated to aiding individuals experiencing food insecurity.

The platform allows volunteers to customize their availability for food rescues, receiving alerts for opportunities that match their schedules. Whether committing to daily, weekly rescues, or testing the waters with a single attempt, flexibility is built into the process.

Once you join, detailed information will be provided regarding pick-up locations and drop-off sites. The guidance ensures that each participant feels supported throughout the entire process.

This direct distribution approach offers volunteers a chance to witness their contribution to alleviating hunger locally.

Share your experiences by taking a photo with the rescued food and posting it on social media. This not only raises awareness of The Supply Hive's mission but also encourages others to join the cause.
