It's November 1st and A LOT is happening in this month of giving, and we need your help! Similar to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, exciting splurging events are coming up, but why not splurge on giving back? There are various ways to get involved with RLC this month, so read below to find out how to help end hunger and excess waste across our nation! RLC has rescued 1.7million pounds of food in 2019 alone, and we are trying to double those numbers and there are various ways to get involved.
Becuase of this month of geneoristy and RLC's motivation to reach 2 million pounds, RLC created brand new paid opportunities that will encourage even more to get involved and expand our community and grow our rescued pounds of food.
-
With this new program you earn money as well as give back to your local community by signing up for what we call our food rescuer program.

This program encourages those who are not able to donate huge chunks of their time to still getting involved, and helping RLC tackle the hunger and food waste crisis.
