COMMUNITY FRIDGE PROJECT

The Community has spoken! We are excited to announce that our community fridge hub partners will be North Corktown Neighborhood Association in North Corktown, and Avalon Village in Highland Park. We still need community support to make these happen and keep them going, so please fill out the form below and let us know how you can contribute.

Take The Detroit food rescue challenge

YOUR SURPLUS FOOD CAN FEED PEOPLE, NOT LANDFILLS!

Pledge to donate your surplus food! Our goal is to add 20 new food donors between harvest time and the holidays.

Why Take the Challenge?

  • Combat Food Insecurity: 69% of Detroit residents face food insecurity. Your surplus food donations can make a direct impact.
  • Reduce Environmental Impact: Donating surplus food helps reduce landfill content and greenhouse gas emissions

Why Partner with Food Rescue US?

  • Easy and Reliable Transport: We'll schedule pickups of food donations on a day, time and frequency that makes sense for your business.
  • Reach the unreachable: We fill gaps that traditional food rescue models cannot, maximizing your donation's impact.

Click the button below to join our network of food donors and get started today!

Not a business owner? You can still accept the challenge by donating funds or volunteering to rescue food.
