Getting food to where it’s needed most.
ABOUT FOOD RESCUE
Our van travels across Greater Lawrence and the Merrimack Valley to collect hundreds of tons of rescued food to better serve community members most at-risk of food insecurity. Our program is a critical life force for our Emergency Food Pantry.
This year, we rescued 2 million pounds of food—more than the last five years combined.
Our rescued food is is immediately distributed to the community through our Emergency Pantry, on average in less than 2-36 hours.
“Bread & Roses is a vital resource for individuals, families, children, the elderly - for all members of the community. They are the bridge to what families may lack or need."
- Linda Johnson, Family Case Manager, Casa Nueva Vida Shelters
