By Jonathan Williams | Director of Development, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine
Thank you for supporting Rescuing Leftover Cuisine! Your support is a catalyst for our amazing growth.
In just two years' time, we doubled the pounds of food rescued by RLC! That's right, it took us 10 years to rescue 10 million pounds of food.
And just two years later?
We've more than doubled that number, rescuing 21 million pounds of food and counting!
This year, we're on target to rescue over 5 million pounds of food! You're the reason why RLC is seeing explosive growth!
In the past year we've:
Led over 25 corporate volunteer food rescues
Onboarded 66 new large-scale and one-time food donors
Added the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY as a major food donor
Provided 4.15 million meals to those in need!
We cannot thank you enough!
Looking Ahead: Meeting the Moment Together
The need for food assistance continues to rise, and we’re working hard to meet that growing demand with bold, forward-looking strategies. In the year ahead, we’re focused on:
Expanding into new cities where food insecurity is surging
Investing in better technology to improve the efficiency of our food rescue network
Scaling up partnerships with large food donors and corporate volunteers
Launching new campaigns, including our "Now More Than Ever" campaign to engage the public and spread awareness of our mission
But we can’t do it without you.
Your continued support is more important than ever. With food costs rising and public safety net programs being scaled back, more families are relying on the food we rescue. Every dollar you give helps us recover more food, serve more communities, and reach our ambitious goals.
If you'd like to help us sustain this momentum and meet the urgent needs ahead, you can:
Make a donation to our “Now More Than Ever” campaign
Become a monthly sustainer to help us plan and grow responsibly
Share our mission with friends, family, and colleagues
Together, we can ensure that perfectly good food feeds people, not landfills.
Thank you again for being part of this movement!
