ATHENS FOOD RESCUE

Athens Food Rescue works with the food facility to determine the best time to safely and efficiently pick up the food donation. Our trained volunteers then transport the food directly to a local charity. These pickups or "shifts" that volunteers go on take less than an hour and are very simple to do!... Athens Food Rescue fights food insecurity in the Athens community while diverting food from landfills... We are an all-volunteer group that aims to bridge a gap in our food system by increasing food waste diversion. We do this by collecting leftover food from donors and immediately transporting it to our associated non-profit organizations. Your organization can be part of the solution by donating your surplus food to Athens Food Rescue.
