Raising funds for
Food Rescue Yellowknife

Food Rescue Yellowknife has been supporting our community (and our environment!) for the past 10 years by diverting food that might otherwise be wasted or thrown out so that it can be used in nutritious meals for our school lunch programs, senior facilities, homeless and transient populations, individuals and families. Since its inception, under the Northwest Territories Donation of Food Act, Food Rescue has received and processed over 1,000,000 kilograms of food from its generous community donors including retail grocery stores, wholesaler operations, mining companies, expediters, other businesses and the general public. Of that, over 95% was distributed to community organizations that support families, individuals and children.
