Fox 17: Lakeshore Food Rescue Expansion

Yesterday, CEO Scott Rumpsa met with Lauren Edwards of Fox 17: West Michigan, to talk about the expansion of Lakeshore Food Rescue! With our partners at Ottawa Food, we're gearing up to use the nationally recognized Food Rescue Hero app to redirect even more good, surplus food away from the landfill and into communities.

"We are aware...of just how much good food, food that any of us would be glad to eat, does go to waste in our community just like any other. And, that’s a challenge. When our community chooses to show up as volunteers, that choose to join in and take a best practice approach to issues like this, that we can actually solve. Less food going to waste and more food going to access sites so that everyone in our community can have what they need to thrive.”

Help increase healthy food access for our community by volunteering and spreading the word!
