A first look at MADE FRESH, the first feature length documentary about Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. 🎥

For Luke’s first day of filming, he met up with RLC Founder Robert Lee in Murray Hill, Queens, where Robert grew up.

They walked through the neighborhood that shaped Robert’s childhood, visiting his childhood home, his public school, and even the bus stop he used growing up. Along the way, they talked about Robert’s experiences with food insecurity, his family, and the community he grew up in.

Before RLC became a national food rescue organization, there was a kid from Queens who knew what it meant to experience food insecurity firsthand.

We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to show you where MADE FRESH goes from here. 🫶🍽️🎬

Today is International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste 🍎🗑️

The world wastes too much food while people face food insecurity and hunger. To make it worse, when food waste decomposes in landfills, it releases greenhouse gases like methane.

Every pound of food rescued matters. It represents people getting fed, less pollution from landfills, and supporting our natural ecosystems.

🩵 Join the movement! At Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, you can help volunteer as a food rescuer, donate food as a food business, sign your corporate team up for a volunteer event, or donate to our mission.

Donate, or Not to Donate? That is the question we are all asking!

In partnership with Food Waste Prevention Week join Sophia Lin Kanno of The Spicy Grasshopper and Robert Lee of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine for a candid conversation about food rescue myths and realities. They’ll unpack the Good Samaritan Act and what it actually protects, demystify expiration dates and “best by” labels, and clear up confusion about which foods are safe to donate. The conversation also tackles the cultural stigma around food donation and the staggering scale of food waste happening behind the scenes. Whether you’re a business owner, volunteer, or just curious, you’ll leave with practical answers and a fresh perspective.

This virtual webinar is Free for all attendees!
