Redirecting perishable food - Just-in-Time! Longmont Food Rescue is a nonprofit (EIN: 81-4920478) serving Longmont and surrounding areas. We collect perishable donations of nutritious fruit and veggies that grocery stores and retailers have deemed food 'waste'. We are able to save this food from going into the landfill and serve our community. Our mission is to be a local ally for food equality and to have an impact on improved sustainability. And since our mission is facilitated by using bicycles, Longmont Food Rescue is redirecting more meals to those that need it the most. Join us today! Take a bicycle pick-up/delivery shift, help get out the word, or assist in social media/website design. This is much bigger than us!
