Blue Mountains Food Rescue coordinates the collection of excess food from local food businesses such as various bakeries and producers. The environmental and social benefits are significant. The food is cooked or distributed to people in need, either directly or through community service partner organisations. Food rescue is also a means of supplying the Community Soul Kitchen project which provides “sit down” meals for persons in need.

Our goal is to make the food rescue process easy, safe and legally sound for all our partners.

Earth Recovery Australia has worked with the RFS through its Blue Mountains Food Rescue Project to distribute food donated in bushfire appeals. In 2013 there was an oversupply of food donations and ERA was able to distribute approximately 17 pallet loads of excess food through it’s community networks.  Our Blue Mountains Food Rescue Project has distributed over $10,000 worth of rescued food in the form of food parcels in the last 7 months.
