Rescuing Leftover Cuisine - GWU

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine - GWU RLC-GWU is a non-profit student org dedicated to helping the hungry by donating leftover food from restaurants, hotels, and other businesses to shelters.

RLC is a non-profit food rescue organization based in New York City that provides solutions to prevent excess wholesome cuisine from being wasted. RLC provides services such as food waste consulting, excess food delivery, co-branding services, and tax credit assistance. RLC approaches the two large issues of hunger and food waste in three main ways. First, we localize the issues into sets of commu

nities that can help sustain themselves. After identifying the homeless shelters of a needy community, we proactively find restaurants, hotels, and catering companies with excess food in that vicinity that could help support these disadvantaged communities. Second, we leverage technology to facilitate the identification and handling of excess food. Thus, these partner food providers will be using a smartphone application to report when excess food is occurring, and the same app is used to engage community members, because volunteering with us can be as easy as taking a brisk walk. Third, we tackle food waste at its root, aiming to eliminate as much food waste as possible and bringing the remaining excess food to where it is needed most. The data of when food waste occurs is used in our analysis of what types of food waste could be avoided, and RLC suggests ways that partner food providers can reduce waste at its root. Working together, we can ensure that only hunger is left behind!

Check us out! Our co-founder, Rob Lee was featured in the December 2015 edition of Reader's Digest! As mentioned, food donations from our partners have allowed a shelter we work with to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week. Things like this make us passionate about what we do!

Robert Lee's organization has delivered more then 250,000 pounds of food around America simply by getting restaurants to make better use of their leftovers.
