From Waste to Worth: Supporting Food Rescue Hero’s Fight Against Hunger and Waste

At Change Happens Foundation, we believe that some of the most powerful solutions to complex problems are also the simplest. That’s why we are proud to support Food Rescue Hero, a groundbreaking organization that transforms excess food into nourishment for those who need it most.

Every day in America, perfectly good food is thrown away while families go hungry. Food Rescue Hero bridges that gap with a tech-powered model that turns everyday people into hunger relief heroes.

Mobilizing a Movement

Food Rescue Hero is more than a nonprofit—it’s a movement. Using an innovative app, they mobilize thousands of volunteers to rescue surplus food from retailers, restaurants, and grocers, and deliver it directly to local nonprofits serving people facing food insecurity.

The scale of their impact is extraordinary: tens of millions of pounds of food rescued, millions of meals provided, and thousands of tons of carbon emissions prevented. But what’s even more inspiring is how they’ve redefined what it means to make a difference. In just 30 minutes, a volunteer can change someone’s day—and change the system for the better.

Technology That Serves Humanity

We are particularly drawn to Food Rescue Hero’s smart, scalable model. Their platform makes food rescue hyper-efficient, flexible, and replicable—already deployed in more than a dozen cities and growing fast. This kind of innovation—where community engagement meets environmental stewardship—is exactly the kind of work Change Happens Foundation was created to support.

Why We Choose to Partner

Food Rescue Hero aligns perfectly with our core values: sustainability, equity, and practical solutions that yield real-world impact. Their model doesn’t just reduce waste—it restores dignity. It turns surplus into sustenance, and volunteers into vital links in the chain of compassion.

In every rescued meal, we see a ripple effect: a mother with one less worry, a child who can focus at school, a community strengthened by care.

This is the kind of change we believe in. This is why we invest in Food Rescue Hero.

Because change doesn’t just happen. It’s delivered.
