Great news from the Oneida County Public Market today! 🎉

Our ResQ2Feed Oneida County booth was busy connecting with our community and spreading the word about our mission: Fighting Hunger | Reducing Waste | Strengthening Our Community.

We're thrilled to announce that a dozen new Rescue Heroes signed up on the spot to be part of our volunteer network! Thank you to everyone who stepped forward to help us rescue good food from going to waste and redirecting it to those in need.

We also made valuable connections with potential food rescue donors and developed exciting new relationships, including a promising partnership with the MVCC sustainability team to implement food rescue initiatives at the college.

Every conversation today brought us one step closer to building a stronger, more sustainable community. If you missed us today but want to learn more about becoming a volunteer or food donor, visit our website or send us a message!
