Feed 5 Million RLC Giving Tuesday Campaign

Thanks to your generosity and commitment, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) has successfully reached our goal of providing five million meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Your support of RLC helped us surpass our goal! 

We rescued 5,063,432 pounds of food and served 5 million in need! 

This incredible achievement would not have been possible without you—our dedicated donors, supporters, and partners. Your contributions ensured that surplus food from restaurants, bakeries, and corporate cafeterias was rescued and redirected to those in need instead of going to waste. Because of you, nutritious meals reached shelters, food pantries, and community organizations, bringing hope and nourishment to countless lives.

We recently received this note from our Non-Profit partners at Manhattan Justice Opportunities.

MJO serves individuals with diverse needs, but none can be addressed without proper nourishment. Thanks to our partnership with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine and Proper Food, we can now stock our fridge weekly with healthy meals, ensuring our program participants have access to food when they need it most. Whether it's offering a sandwich during long court days or providing meals in safe spaces as part of alternative-to-incarceration efforts, these donations make a tangible difference. Each week, we see firsthand how consistent, reliable food access transforms lives, and we are deeply grateful for this support.

Your support has not only helped us feed millions but has also strengthened and expanded our food rescue network. With your generosity,

• We established a new partnership with the Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York
• We scaled our operations in Los Angeles to meet the needs of those affected by the devastating wildfires
• We maintained a 99% success rate in delivering food to those in need in less than two hours! 

Every dollar you contributed helped us rescue and distribute food more efficiently, ensuring that no meal was wasted. Together, we turned compassion into action—bridging the gap between food excess and food scarcity.

Reaching five million meals is a milestone we celebrate with you, but our work doesn’t stop here. Food insecurity remains a challenge, and with your continued support, we can do even more. Thank you for being part of this journey and for believing in a world where good food is never wasted, and no one goes hungry. We are excited for what we can accomplish together next!

Thank you for your passion and support of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine
