530 Food Rescue Coalition
Preventing Good Food From Going to Waste
Food waste is the single largest component of municipal landfills.
The 530 Food Rescue Coalition (530 FRC) is an innovative food recovery project in Butte County working to save perfectly good food from going to waste. Using a custom-built app, we mobilize volunteers to transport food donations from food retailers to non-profits. The 530 FRC aims to fill gaps in the existing food recovery system.
Our mission
We believe that good food belongs to people, not landfills; that technology can be used for good; and that people are wired to help – we just need to give them the opportunity.
The key to our project success is empowering community volunteers to help end hunger and end food waste in Butte County and beyond.
