We are all wired to do good. Our volunteers just keep doing it week on week off, and it’s because they want to. And that gives me hope in the world. In cities all across the country, there are thousands of volunteers who are rescuing food, fresh food that’s being diverted away from landfills in an effort to feed people. And it’s all made possible through apps like Food Rescue Hero, founded by food advocate Leia Lizarondo.

How did food recovery become a passion for you? I read this report that said that we are wasting 40% of our food. 40%? Yes. In this country. In this country. And it’s enough food to feed everyone who’s hungry four times over. Launched in 2016, the Food Rescue Hero platform supports food recovery organizations in the US and Canada to help coordinate donations from local retailers. It then mobilizes volunteers to redistribute the food to communities in need. Just last year, their network of partners recovered over 50 million pounds of food.

It’s like any food delivery app that we use. They get alerted of surplus food where it’s happening, and they can say, “Oh, that is close to me. I’ll take it.” Usually a rescue can be done in some as quick as 20 minutes, mostly under an hour. The app aims to tackle food insecurity and climate change, where food waste makes up 8% of greenhouse gas emissions. It’s the number one component in landfills. If food waste were a country, it will be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, third only to the US and China.

When you think about how much food waste there is, do you think it’s a solvable problem? It’s an absolutely solvable problem. We are also, unfortunately, one of the biggest causes of food waste. When we go to the supermarket, when we go to the milk aisle, we go to the back of it and not take the ones in front. I feel so clean. I mean, everyone does it. If we change those behaviors, it will lessen the instance of food waste in the first place. Food Rescue Hero is also creating community.

You use the word hero as opposed to volunteers. Why? Because they are. And we always think of Heroes as it has to be this big act, but I think the real heroic thing is doing something every single day, as often as you can. No one sees it, and you’re just doing it. So then can I become a food rescue hero? Absolutely. Now, I would love to introduce Colleen to you. She’s one of our amazing food Rescue Heroes. Can I rescue with you? Absolutely. Show me how this works.

You just go to the app. We’re going to claim the rescue, and we get in the car and we start moving. Okay. Today’s rescue picking up prepared foods from a local hospital. Just pick it up. Just pick it up. It’s amazing. Meatloaf, chicken, squash. So you work. You’ve got three kids. Why do this? I see the need for it, and I want to emulate it for my kids. And this simple task, 30 minutes, maybe an hour out of my day, is going to help feed our neighbors.

Final stop Oasis, a social services organization that serves women and children in Patterson, New Jersey. I just want to say thank you. The fresh fruits and produce that you bring are absolutely gold to our community here, who really don’t have access to that. I’m so happy he, like, introduced it to me. This is so wonderful. It’s brilliant. It’s such a great idea. So a Food Rescue Hero is working to

share their experiences raising funds for Table to Table’s “Bag a
Lunch, Help a Bunch” program. With them are principal Daniel
Garcia and Council advisors Lauren Daugherty and Sara Calabrese.

The Harrison School Student Council has supported the “Bag a Lunch, Help a Bunch” initiative of Table to Table for the past seven years. Recently, the Tribune interviewed four members of the Student Council’s executive board, advisors, and the school principal, Daniel Garcia, to learn more about their efforts to provide meals for the hungry.

According to Garcia, Harrison Elementary raised enough funds this year to provide 9,100 meals for those in need. The fundraiser is crucial because many people do not have enough food to eat, as fifth-grader Anushka Nikhil explained. The students collect a considerable amount of money, with one dollar providing up to ten meals.

Fifth-grader Johanna Saland noted that helping others and making them happy is the primary motivation behind the fundraiser. Fourth-grader Ruhi Biswas added that it is essential to help those who are struggling when you have more than enough.

The director of marketing communications for Table to Table, Maria Sinopoli, expressed gratitude to the students for their contributions. She emphasized that their efforts helped get food to people who desperately needed it.

Despite the pandemic, the Bag a Lunch project continued with a few adjustments, according to Student Council advisor Lauren Daugherty. They used a QR code for virtual donations and set up a landing page for families to contribute.

To raise awareness, the Student Council representatives visited classrooms and explained the organization’s needs and objectives. They distributed brown bags to collect donations and put up posters to inform people of the fundraiser’s purpose. The students also gave speeches about the impact of their donations on the community.

Table to Table is a “Food Rescue” organization that collects surplus fresh and nutritious food from grocery stores, caterers, and distributors. They distribute the food to various organizations such as veteran’s homes, day care centers, and soup kitchens.

The Student Council also visited the Livingston Neighbors Helping Neighbors food pantry, where they made sandwiches, decorated bags, and organized food items.

Looking ahead, the Student Council plans to brainstorm their next community service project. The advisors suggested that the project should aim to help the Harrison community and school family.

Individuals, business employees, and students can donate the equivalent of their lunch money to the “Bag a Lunch, Help a Bunch” initiative to help feed the hungry. For more information, visit www.tabletotable.org.

100,000 additional meals will be donated to food banks across the country HelloFresh announces the temporary opening of an additional free Community Fresh Market in Colorado

March 29, 2023 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HelloFresh, the world’s leading meal kit company and food solutions group, announced today an increase in their “Beyond the Box” program to support food banks as COVID-19 SNAP benefits have expired. As part of its mission to support those facing food insecurity, the company pledges to provide 100,000 additional meals across a number of its brands – HelloFresh, Green Chef, and EveryPlate – this Spring to food banks and non-profit partners around the country – an extension to their existing donation programs.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides assistance to 41 million people suffering from food insecurity by providing them a monthly benefit to use on food purchases. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as millions of people lost their jobs, SNAP benefits were temporarily increased to help low-income families. The supplemental benefits expired this February, as a signal that the pandemic is coming to an end. This month, the average SNAP household has seen at least $95 less in benefits, with some seeing a reduction of $250 or more.

“While an end to the pandemic is a welcome note, many families continue to face food insecurity, especially with record inflation contributing to higher food costs,” said Jeff Yorzyk, Senior Director of Sustainability for HelloFresh US. “Many people are turning to their local food banks to help fill the void – unfortunately some of which are not equipped for the influx. Our goal is to help our partners put healthy, nutritious food on the tables of as many Americans as possible in this time of need.”

HelloFresh is donating 100,000 extra meals, including meal kits, ready-to-heat dinners and nutritious sides to food banks including Table to Table in New Jersey, Second Helpings Atlanta in Georgia, Tarrant Area Food Bank in Texas and St. Mary’s Food Bank in Arizona. The company is also increasing support by adding a second temporary Community Fresh

Market in Colorado. This farmer’s market style distribution, hosted by Denver-based hunger relief organization, We Don’t Waste, will be open bi-weekly from April through July, to whoever needs it and will provide a variety of fresh produce, proteins and dairy items at no cost.

“This is a critical time for our community. With the reduction of SNAP benefits on top of rising inflation for food, we’ve seen food insecurity increase and demand for our programs has skyrocketed. We’ve seen a 63% increase in attendance at the Community Fresh Markets from this time last year. And seniors, experiencing an even greater reduction in benefits, have nearly doubled in attendance,” said Arlan Preblud, Founder and Executive Director for We Don’t Waste. “We’re now providing food access to over 10,000 individuals each month through these markets. We Don’t Waste is really grateful to work with partners like HelloFresh. They are helping us provide consistent food access to help strengthen our community.” Beyond the Box helps those in need

HelloFresh aims to change the way people eat, forever, inclusive of those facing food insecurity. Their US-based social impact program called Beyond the Box, focuses on reducing food waste and creating a more equitable food system for those in need.

The program consists of their “Meals with Meaning” initiative, launched in 2020, as a response to the pandemic and elevated rates of food insecurity. To date, Meals with Meaning has provided more than 4 million free meal kits to individuals in need, with each kit containing HelloFresh ingredients and step-by-step recipe cards to create home-cooked meals.

Through the remainder of the year, HelloFresh will increase their Meals With Meaning donations in Newark, New Jersey. In partnership with the City of Newark and food-rescue organization, Table to Table, this site represents the company’s first and largest Meals with Meaning program.

“More than 850,000 people in New Jersey depend on federal food assistance to sustain themselves or their families,” said Amiri Baraka, Jr., Chief of Staff for the City of Newark. “With inflation so high, individuals are struggling to put food on the table right now. We need to ensure that those who need help have access to it. We’re incredibly grateful for companies like HelloFresh who are partnering with us to fill this critical need.”

HelloFresh also continues to focus on its sustainability and social impact efforts by contributing nearly 19 million pounds of surplus food in the US in 2022, supporting more than 40 food banks and pantries across the country.
