DFR needs your support! Join our 7th annual Food Rescue Ride, a fun way to show up for community and include your friends and family in Denver Food Rescue’s mission is to increase health equity WITH Denver neighborhoods. We do this by helping to increase access to healthy foods in a way that uplifts community and decreases stigmas of traditional pantries. These community led and resident powered food distributions are called No Cost Grocery Programs and we support 24 sites a week! Last year we rescued and redistributed 600,000 pounds of fresh perishables (80% produce) to 12,000 Denver Metro families totaling 100,834 visits to our partnered programs!
