BOULDER FOOD RESCUE REDISTRIBUTES HEALTHY FOOD TO LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES THATWOULDN'T OTHERWISE HAVE ACCESS. WE REDISTRIBUTE 1,400 POUNDS OF PRODUCE EVERY DAY TOAFFORDABLE HOUSING SITES, PRE-SCHOOLS AND OTHER EASILY ACCESSIBLE PLACES, TO MINIMIZE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING FRESH PRODUCE. WE ENGAGE A VOLUNTEER BASE OF 150 PEOPLE WHO DO 87% OF OUR PICK UPS BY BICYCLE. COMMUNITY LEADERS DISTRIBUTE THE FOOD AMONGST THEMSELVES. WE SUPPORT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, MOVEMENT BUILDING, AND PARTICIPATION. WE MANAGE A NATIONAL NETWORK OF FOOD RESCUES THAT SHARE RESOURCES AND BEST PRACTICES AND ARE BUILDING COOPERATIVELY OWNED SOFTWARE FOR THIS NATION WIDE MOVEMENT.
