WE’RE ON A MISSION
TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE AND CULTIVATE FOOD SECURITY IN TETON COUNTY, WYoming
THE PROBLEM
OUR SOLUTION
In Teton County, the high cost of living and economic inequality mean that many of our neighbors struggle to access enough affordable food.
At the same time, 40% of food in the U.S. goes to waste. Every day, grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries send surplus food to the landfill.
Hole Food Rescue partners with local grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries to rescue food. This is food that would otherwise be thrown away because of oversupply, approaching sell-by dates, or cosmetic imperfections.
Instead of ending up in the landfill where it would generate greenhouse gases, this perfectly good food is redirected to feed our neighbors.

FOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY
Food for the Community programs share rescued food with our neighbors at nine distribution sites every week. This direct-to-community model reduces barriers by meeting people in their own neighborhoods. Learn more about FFCs!
