Good food belongs in bellies, not landfills.
Fresh Rescue of Michigan connects businesses, schools, farms and institutions across Ingham, Eaton and Clinton counties with the agencies serving neighbors facing food insecurity. We build the donor relationships, partnerships and capacity that let local food rescue organizations pick up and deliver good food — on a regular schedule, seven days a week, the same day it's donated.
We welcome food donations from businesses, farms, farmers markets, orchards, food producers and schools. Let's explore an arrangement that works for you →

Volunteer energy starts a food rescue program. It doesn't, on its own, sustain one. Volunteers move on, donors reorganize, grant cycles end — what carries a network through that is infrastructure: shared agreements, training, and coordination that outlast any one person or program. That's what FRoM builds, guided by an Advisory Council of regional leaders from local government, academia, and the food sector.
