We depend on financial support from corporations, governmental agencies, other nonprofit organizations, and individual contributors. We are an IRS recognized 501(c)3 non-profit, and all contributions are tax deductible.
What is Food Rescue:
Food Rescue or Food Recovery is the practice of safely collecting perishable food from restaurants, grocery stores, catering services, and bakeries that would otherwise go to waste, and distributing it to food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters for distribution to the hungry.
According to the U.S EPA, in 2010 over 33 million tons of food was thrown away. We seek to recover the perfectly safe and edible food and make it available to those of our neighbors who need it most.

Thanks you for your support!!!! Barbara Gordon - St. Joseph Food Pantry The generous will themselves be blessed,
for they share their food with the poor. Proverbs 22:9 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” Luke 3:11
"But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be
beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be
demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be
asked." Luke 12:48
If we can conquer space, we can conquer childhood hunger. - Buzz Aldrin Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. - Dwight D. Eisenhower Why should there be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life? There is no deficit in human resources. The deficit is in human will. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed. - Mother Teresa
When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political, or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread. - Desmond Tutu "We might not be able to change the world. We might not be able to change our country or even our state, but we can make a significant difference in this county" - Adrienne Sipe, Board of Directors Chairperson, Feed the Hungry Forsyth, Inc.
