Chicago Food Rescue

Our Mission is to increase access to nutritious food and reduce environmental impact by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to individuals and communities experiencing food insecurity. With our app, you can volunteer on your own time and rescues typically take an less than an hour. Our app makes it easy to feed your neighbors by giving you instructions and contact info at the donor and drop-off sites. You can find a rescue that fits your schedule and start making an impact today!

CFR bridges the gap between food waste and food insecurity in our city. We aim to make good food accessible to anyone in need, free of charge, wherever they are. We believe that no one should go hungry when there is an abundance of food available. We strive to create a more equitable and sustainable food system in Chicago by connecting excess food with those experiencing food insecurity.
