Our volunteer "staff" consists of an executive director and a dedicated board of directors. We are few but mighty!
30-40% of food produced in the United States is wasted every year
40% of food wasted in the United States comes from restaurants, grocery stores, and food- service companies
According to the US Department of Agriculture, 11% of the Lowcountry's population is "food insecure"
We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that rescues un-plated leftover food, mostly from restaurants/caterers, salvaging un-plated food that would otherwise be thrown away. We also rescue leftover packaged food, produce, bakery items, etc. And deliver it all to Lowcountry nonprofits serving the food-insecure population.
After two retirements--first from the Air Force and then from a second career in construction / facilities management--Chuck Smiley now serves the local community by rescuing and redistributing leftover food in the Charleston, SC, area. Inspired and driven by the impact his daughter's Food Rescue nonprofit (Rescuing Leftover Cuisine) has had in NYC, he's motivated to address the scourge of food insecurity in the Lowcountry and reduce the wastage of perfectly good food.
Since beginning operation in April 2022 , we'e performed 500 Food Rescues and redistributed over 48,000 pounds of leftover food!
