Hole Food Rescue is this year's chosen "share the love" charity.
Since 2008, Share the Love has donated more that $94 million to charity, with customers choosing between four national and over 660 local charities. This year's event ending January 2nd, is on track to bring that total to over $115 million.Â
Hole Food Rescue's mission is to reduce food waste and food insecurity in our community. We do this by rescuing 20,000 lbs of food each month and diverting it to around 1,000 community members in need every week. We have partnered with 26 local agencies that provide food assistance to disperse this food (through this collaborative network we are able to provide 17,000 meals each week). We are volunteer driven and have an awesome team of over 80 volunteers that help us pick up the food from our food donors and then deliver the food back into the community.Â
We are always looking for volunteers to join our team, information on volunteer shifts and trainings are found on our website. If you would like to learn more, please stop in at our "Food Hub", our warehouse just off of Gregory Lane as we would be happy to give you a tour!
At Hole Food Rescue, we live by our five core values:
1.
We show up
2. We have fun
3. We value our relationships
4. We hold ourselves to high standards
5. We go the extra mile
