Every year, millions of pounds of food are wasted in the United States while millions struggle with hunger. Forty percent of all food produced in our country is thrown away! This disparity is especially stark in cities like Chicago, where excellent food is discarded daily from restaurants, grocers, and events—food that could otherwise help feed those in need.
Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging this gap. By collecting surplus food from businesses, including Meez Meals, and redistributing it to local nonprofits and community organizations, RLC turns what would have been waste into a vital resource. In Chicago and cities nationwide, RLC teams up with food donors to rescue and deliver fresh, nutritious food to shelters, pantries, and meal programs. With the help of volunteers and innovative technology, RLC makes food redistribution easy,
efficient, and impactful. Each year, RLC rescues millions of pounds of food across the country, ensuring that more people get the nourishment they need while reducing the environmental toll caused by wasted food. In Chicago alone, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is making a measurable impact. With the help of companies just like Meez, RLC has rescued over 150,000 pounds of excess food to serve those
in Chicagoland! Every person can be part of this solution, whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading
the word. Together, we can tackle hunger, protect the environment, and bring positive change to
communities in need.
