Two major players in food rescue are joining forces to scale operations and respond to the disconnect between the fact that we waste 40 percent of our food while one in seven are hungry. Since 2016, Food Rescue Hero, a spin-off of 412 Food Rescue, has mobilized an app-coordinated network of volunteers to redirect surplus food to those who need it. Now, the Pittsburgh startup is partnering with Food Donation Connection, a 28-year global pioneer in food recovery, to amplify the impact of both organizations.
