It’s World Food Day.

More than 733 million people around the world face hunger. At the same time, roughly a third of the food produced globally will go uneaten.

That gap is where Food Rescue US lives. Every rescue, in every community, is one small piece of a much bigger answer. Thank you to every rescuer, donor, and social service agency working to close it, one meal at a time.

We're thrilled to be featured in Food Bank News!

Restaurants generate millions of tons of surplus food every year, yet less than 1% ever gets donated. DonorLink, our integration with Toast, is designed to change that by making food donation a built-in part of restaurant operations instead of an extra step.

In just two pickups, Macchialina has already provided 25 meals to Miami Rescue Mission through , our integration with Toast that makes food donation seamless for restaurants.

A huge toast to the whole Macchialina team for showing what's possible when restaurants treat food recovery as part of the craft.
