Food Rescue

Food Insecurity in Michigan

Over 1.3 million Michiganders — including 1 in 8 children — face food insecurity, meaning they don’t always know where their next meal will come from.

Good Food Going to Waste

Despite the need, more than 30% of Michigan’s food supply is thrown away each year, much of it perfectly edible. Local farms, grocery stores, and distributors often have surplus that never makes it to families who need it most.

Need food?

Call to Action-Join the Rescue!

You can help turn excess into access. Whether you're a business, farmer, or distributor with surplus food — or a volunteer ready to sort, pack, or deliver meals — your support ensures Michigan families don’t go hungry while good food goes to waste.
