You Helped Us Reach a New Milestone!

By Jonathan Williams | Director of Development, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine

Thanks to your generosity and commitment, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) surpassed a major milestone. 

We have now rescued 20 million pounds of food to serve those 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.

Your support has not only helped us feed millions but has also strengthened and expanded our food rescue network. With your generosity, we improved logistics, scaled operations, and built stronger partnerships with food donors and volunteers across multiple cities. 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.

  • We've improved our technology to ensure that we have a 99% coverage rate for food rescues
  • We've expanded into stadiums and arenas. Our newest arena partner, Barclays Center, started weekly food donations and Fenway Park just signed on for food rescue during the 2025 baseball season! 
  • We've hired dedicated staff members to engage our potential food donors and have seen a substantial increase in food rescues from corporate cafeterias across the nation. 

Reaching 20 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. 

There are two ways you can continue to support RLC. 

Join us at our Gala in New York City on May 8th! Come celebrate as we highlight some amazing food partners and share in sustainable food and drink! 

Continue your support of RLC and GlobalGiving through an additional gift. Help us reach out next goal of rescuing 10 million pounds of food annually! 

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!

Best,

Jonathan Williams
