food rescue
Hole Food Rescue (HFR) makes every effort to prevent food from going to waste. On average, we rescue over 45,000 pounds of food each month.
HFR volunteers rescue food daily from local donors such as grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants. These items are considered “unsellable” due to cosmetic imperfections, nearing expiration dates, and overall surplus, but are still wholesome and nutritious. Rescued food is then redistributed back into the community at our Food For the Community // Comida de la Comunidad program and partner recipient agencies. Anything deemed unsuitable for redistribution is fed to Haderlie Farms hogs or composted with WyoFarm Compost.
We continue to look for ways to bridge the gap between excess and access. In 2025, HFR volunteers diverted 545,670 pounds of nutritious food from going to waste.
Rescue.
Food gets picked up by volunteers and brought to the Hole Food Rescue Hub.
SORT.
At the Hub, rescued food is weighed, sorted, organized, and re-packed for redistribution.
Participants of our Food for the Community // Comida de la Comunidad program shop for free groceries that help supplement their income and reduce food waste simultaneously.
