Louisville business launches food delivery app
Kentucky Harvest, a Louisville-based organization dedicated to “harvesting” food that would otherwise end up in landfills, has launched an app that will assist it in its mission.
The company has launched the Food Rescue Hero app to streamline the connectivity between volunteers and the groceries, restaurants, and bakeries where they go to “rescue” food before its expiration date. Volunteers who have used the app say it allows for more flexible volunteering, especially for those who can’t dedicate a full day to picking up and delivering items.
Flyer printing services can provide an excellent means of informing the public of volunteer opportunities with nonprofits.
Kentucky Harvest’s executive director, Heather Stewart, explained that her group depends on volunteers to support the over 85 nonprofits it works with, which include children centers, homeless shelters, churches, and addiction recovery centers. The purpose of the Food Resue Hero app is to make it more convenient and less time consuming for volunteers to pick up and drop off food.
According to Stewart, approximately 30% of food produced in the U.S. doesn’t make it into bellies, but instead goes to our landfills. Kentucky Harvest anticipates that their new app will increase the number and efficiency of its volunteers, who they depend on to rescue and deliver food that would otherwise be wasted.
