Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue saves people by first saving food then getting that food to the people. They do not warehouse anything, but what they do is rescue fresh food and get it to hungry folks. As Beth Ostdiek Smith explained to Mike Hogan on “Live & Local” Saving Grace operates a fleet of refrigerated vehicles with professionals who pick up qualified, quality food and deliver it same-day, free-of-charge to local nonprofits.
The benefits to those who eat the food are obvious. The surprise benefit is to the environment. Every piece of food consumed stays out of a landfill…Doesn’t release greenhouse gas…Has zero negative impact on our environment. In the past 10 years, Saving Grace has rescued and redistributed approximately 8 million pounds of food, at a value of over $15 million dollars.
Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue invites you to join them for their 10th Anniversary event. More than a celebration, this unique event is designed to empower people to solve the problems of wasted food and hunger in our community.
