Only one year after its launch, I-Rescue’s footprint will broaden to help alleviate food insecurity by connecting volunteers—who rescue free, fresh and donated food from restaurants and grocery stores—to recipient agencies such as food pantries and shelters that feed communities in need.

I-Rescue was developed through a partnership between Table to Table, Bergen County and the Russell Berrie Foundation.
