Up to 40% of food goes to waste, while 1 in 5 Pittsburghers is experiencing food insecurity.
Join a movement that's transforming Pittsburgh and Southwest Pennsylvania by combating food waste, hunger, and greenhouse gas emissions. The 412 Food Rescue app, powered by Food Rescue Hero™, makes volunteering easy so you can make a tangible difference in your community and the planet in just 30 minutes.
Why It Matters
• Reduce Food Waste: Up to 40% of food produced goes to waste–and with it, all the resources that went into growing, transporting, and packaging this food.
• Alleviate Hunger: 1 in 5 Pittsburgh residents is experiencing food insecurity, and less than a third of the wholesome food that goes to waste would be enough to close this hunger gap.
• Protect the Environment: Food waste is the #1 methane emitter in landfills, and contributes more greenhouse gas emissions in a year than global air travel. Reducing food waste is imperative in reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Key Features
• User-Friendly Interface: Navigate the app with ease, whether you're tech-savvy or new to digital tools.
• Flexible Scheduling: Volunteer on your terms, with options that fit into any lifestyle.
• Real-Time Notifications: Stay informed about rescue opportunities in your area.
• Impact Tracking: See the difference you're making in your community through personalized impact reports.
How It Works
1. Sign Up & Set Preferences: Download the app and customize your availability and preferred rescue areas.
2. Get Notified: Receive alerts when surplus food needs rescuing near you.
3. Claim a Rescue: Choose rescues that fit your schedule—daily, weekly, or whenever you have time.
4. Pick Up & Deliver: Follow step-by-step instructions to collect surplus food from donors and deliver it to local nonprofits distributing food to your community.
5. See Your Impact: Deliver directly to organizations that distribute the food, witnessing firsthand the impact your time makes.
Whether you're looking for a one-time volunteer opportunity or a regular commitment, the app offers flexibility to fit your lifestyle. Plus, you can share your experiences on social media to inspire others to join the cause.
