A film by HooplaHa.

With 1 out of 7 people facing food insecurity and 40% of America’s food going to waste, Robert Lee saw a need and an obvious solution: match food waste with hungry people. His non-profit, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, collects fresh food that would otherwise be thrown out and takes it to homeless shelters that provide meals for the hungry. So far, his organization has saved over 100,000 pounds of food and he’s just beginning. He is building on his success in New York City and expanding this model into 17 cities in America. Robert’s mission is nothing less than making food hunger a thing of the past.
