Boulder Food Rescue is a non-profit organization based in Boulder, Colorado whose goal is to facilitate (via logistical organization and transportation) the redistribution of perishable food “waste” from businesses, to charities and agencies that serve hungry, homeless, and at-risk individuals in Boulder, Colorado.
In particular, we are focused on direct rescue and redistribution of fresh and healthy food that would be discarded otherwise. The flexibility of our model, and the direct “just in time” delivery mechanism, allows us to focus on small gaps left behind by larger food rescue organizations and food banks. We work hard to accomplish our task with minimal environmental impact and right now more than 80% of our food transportation is accomplished via human-powered means (bicycles and trailers).
If you’d like to know more about our organization, you might take a gander at our bylaws, our list of community partners, or our list of organizations that we deliver food to. If you’re keen to lend a hand or have a question about food donation, shoot us an email at info@boulderfoodrescue.org or text/call 720-4455-BFR.
