Reducing food waste AND Cultivating food security
Hole Food Rescue’s (HFR) mission is to reduce food waste and cultivate food security. We rescue an average of 20,000 pounds of food per month otherwise destined for the landfill. That is enough to feed you every meal of every day for the next 19 years. Our process is pretty simple: HFR volunteers rescue excess food from local grocers and restaurants on a daily basis. This food is then sorted through at the HFR facility, anything deemed unsuitable is composted at WyoFarm Composting. 89% of the food we rescue is imperfect yet still nutritious, which is then redistributed into the community through our programs.
