Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan is the area’s mobile food rescue organization.
Driving hunger from our communities
With our own refrigerated trucks along with our trained and dedicated drivers and volunteers to coordinate the effort, we make scheduled pick-ups and deliveries from food donor to recipient locations throughout the Five County area. Chances are you’ve seen us on the road! We urge you to get involved in the fight against hunger and waste. Start now by getting informed, giving food, or giving funds to help us keep up with our mission of feeding Northwest Michigan.
Our Mission
The mission of Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan is the collection and distribution of soon-to-expire fresh foods and beverages from available sources (e.g., grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, bakeries, etc.) to people in need through the area’s food pantries, shelters and community meals programs.
Our Vision
Based on recent U.S. Census data, there are currently 17,680 people living in poverty in northwest Lower Michigan. Most of these people are threatened by food insecurity; and the need is unfortunately increasing daily. In fact, our food pantries, shelters and community meals programs of the Northwest Food Coalition member agencies serve over 22,000 meals each month!

To address the increasing need in our region, we have created a program that combines the efforts of Food Rescue to support the food pantries, shelters and community meals programs on our Five County area. Through this program, we assure that everyone in need has access to the nutritious fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products they require to maintain a healthy diet. Simply put, everyone in our service area should have the opportunity to eat well-balanced, healthy meals regardless of their circumstances.
Food Rescue is a program of Goodwill Industries of Northern Michigan, Inc.
