About Food Rescue Initiative

The Food Rescue Initiative was created to address food insecurity in La Porte County by redirecting surplus food to those who need it most. Through partnerships with local retailers, food banks, and community organizations, we recover high-quality food that would otherwise go to waste and put it to meaningful use.

We turn excess into opportunity, providing reliable access to food while reducing waste and strengthening our community.
