Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is doing amazing work addressing food waste and food insecurity! Join the webinar on August 7th and learn more about the RLC approach! Link below.

Did you know that 1 in 8 Americans experience food insecurity while more than $200 billion is spent on food that will never be eaten? That’s billions of pounds of food wasted instead of going to those who need it. Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) aims to redistribute excess food to people experiencing food insecurity. RLC makes it easy for businesses to donate their excess food to their community and provides a reliable, professional food rescue service for our partners at an efficient cost. Join us at the Rescuing Leftover Cuisine Gala 2024 as we unite to end food insecurity. If you cannot attend, please donate to support the cause.

Rising food costs have made it challenging for people to feed themselves and as a result has stretched many charitable food organizations thin. Our goal with our newly named Food Security Campaign is to help these organizations nourish communities in need.

Food Drive for "The Sisters Keepers" is still under way! We are half way through April and would love to see even more donations come through our doors! According to an article from WENY, Catholic Charities provided the following statistics: "According to Catholic Charities, in 2023, there were 1,357 distinct individuals who experienced homelessness and received services in Chemung County. 317 of those individuals were under the age of 18..." The need is great, and numbers are likely to have grown since then! You can order from Amazon via our Wishlist, Wal-Mart, Instacart, Costco, BJ's and Sam's Club to have your donation shipped directly to our door, or, you can drop off to us, right here at Image Packaging. We appreciate all of our fabulous donors that have helped make a difference in the lives of others!

In our 2023 Annual Report, we take a look at trends at FISH over the past few years, particularly comparing pre-pandemic numbers to today. What we are seeing is continued growth in need, as the high cost of living paired with fewer support resources adds more and more strain for families. One area in which we have seen considerable increases is the pounds of food we distribute each year. In 2023, FISH distributed 1,560,603 pounds of food, more than any other year in our history as an organization. Our marketplace could not run without the generous support of our community. We source food from four main sources: donations from our Broomfield grocery stores and restaurant partners, Community Food Share, in-kind donations from our neighbors (which includes food drives!), and purchased food made possible by our incredible donors and by grant funding. All of these support networks allow us to stock a variety of food and personal care items for our families so they can shop for what their families need.
