Meg's Fundraiser for Food Justice! 🏃‍➡️🥬

Share Your Story!

In the U.S., about 38% of food goes uneaten, wasting precious resources, labor, and producing harmful climate emissions. At the same time, 1 in 3 Denverites—over 300,000 neighbors—struggles to access consistent, nutritious meals. 

At Denver Food Rescue (DFR), we bridge this gap. Through our innovative 'food recovery model,' we partner with grocery stores, food retailers, and community leaders to rescue fresh, surplus food (often by e-bike!) and deliver it directly to 21 No Cost Grocery Programs (NCGPs). These programs are led by and for the community, offering culturally relevant, high-nutrient foods like fresh produce and perishables.
