Explore one of the highest and best uses of surplus food by touring Goodwill Northern Michigan’s Food Rescue. This group rescues, harvests, repacks, and distributes 2 million pounds of food each year rescue, harvest, repack, and distribute 2 million pounds of food annually — that’s $3.34 million worth of food!
Each day, Food Rescue brings 8,000lbs of food to 78 food pantries and community meal sites in the Northwest Food Coalition, and 42% of it is fruits and vegetables. Food Rescue’s work is powered by strong community partnerships: working with more than 115 local grocery stores, bakeries, food distributors and processors, 82 farms, and 15 schools to rescue and distribute food across a rural, six-county region—at no cost to their partners.
