Denver Food Rescue

Denver Food Rescue is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to advance food security, health equity, climate action, and social justice. The organization recovers surplus fresh food from grocery stores, wholesalers, and farms, then redistributes it through community-led No Cost Grocery Programs. Learn more about its food recovery model.

Powered by volunteers, donors, and community partnerships, Denver Food Rescue prioritizes fresh produce and other nutritious perishables. Its sustainable approach uses e-cargo bikes whenever possible and connects recovered food directly with community spaces, helping reduce food waste while supporting more equitable access to healthy food.

Denver Food Rescue also shares food-justice news and advocates for policies related to food justice, health equity, and sustainability.
