Today marks the one year anniversary of the Food Rescue Program.The Food Rescue Program came out of the Blue Zones Project Food Policy Group and started April 21, 2014. This program has volunteers pick up food Monday-Friday from HyVee, HyVee Mainstreet and Fareway and delivers it to one of 3 local food pantries. The quality food they deliver was formerly being thrown away. In it’s first year, this program has collected over $250,000 worth of food. The Food Rescue Program has been featured in the Muscatine Journal and on Fran Riley Features on KWQC.
