Cultivate Food Rescue
Cultivate Food Rescue works to reduce hunger and food waste in northern Indiana by recovering excess, quality food and redistributing it to school children, food pantries, shelters, and more. Through strategic partnerships, they are a leader in perishable food rescue, procurement, redistribution, and education in order to meet the nutritional needs of communities.
Cultivate knows very well how food changes lives. After opening their doors in 2016, they quickly realized that they would have a lasting impact by doing their best to alleviate hunger in our community. Even further, they could do this by simply redistributing food that was ALREADY IN our community. Through their Backpack Program, children in school districts across St. Joseph, Elkhart and Marshall Counties take home six frozen meals each Friday to keep their bellies full over the weekend. The Cultivate Cares Food Network, partners with local pantries to keep their shelves stocked with perishable, healthy items, all free of charge to them.
