Research by the Food Law and Policy Clinic at Harvard Law School has shown that if we reduce food waste by one third, we could feed the entire food-insecure population in the United States.
We process and store it safely, then redistribute it to food pantries, meal centers, and other programs that serve communities facing food insecurity such as unhoused individuals, low-income families, seniors, and others. In this way, we serve the needs of food industry donors and recipients alike. Food rescue goes out to our community through our locker and pantry programs, but also to the following organizations: Haverhill Clubhouse, House of Mercy, Lawrence Adult Learning Center, Lawrence Community Fridge, Lazarus House, Neighbors in Need, People’s Pantry, The Psychological Center, and the YMCA.
Village Food Hub works with local organizations to ensure that the rescued food is distributed effectively and equitably by identifying areas or populations that are underserved by existing feeding programs, and providing these programs with access to additional
food sources.
