More than 38 million people in America – a number that includes 12 million children – are food insecure. Every community in the country has families that are hungry. But at the same time, food itself is the number one component in our landfills, and one of the biggest sources of our greenhouse gas emissions.
When Leah Lizarondo learned that every year more than 40% of America’s food is wasted, she decided to do something about it. Today, she is the founder and CEO of 412 Rescue in Pittsburgh, built around an app, a real-world kitchen, and a food rescue mission.
