Rethink is bringing a strong business model to the nonprofit space and using it to have a huge impact on hunger and food security in NYC. I was so inspired by their mission and their Founder, Matt, that I've volunteered to be a part of their Associate Board focused on helping them bring nutritious affordable meals to even more citizens! If you're looking for a non-profit that walks the walk and produces real results, seriously consider getting involved with Rethink Food NYC.
So exciting to see this happening! I have so much hope for the world seeing this younger generation responding to hunger issues in such an innovative way. Sharing food sources is important. We have belonged to food coops and buying clubs and csas for a long time; this seems to be a very good extension of that concept.
Rethink Food NYC is an incredible organization doing meaningful and necessary work. As an events professional with over a decade of experience, I am thrilled to see an organization thinking creatively to repurpose the abundance of unused food from the hospitality industry to provide meals to those in need. Food insecurity effects so many in our country, and this organization provides the means to make a difference. Now it is up to us to support them in this good work and donate!
Rethink Food NYC has found a way to reduce waste and feed people! It's a brilliant, simple solution to a long term problem. I'm excited to follow their progress and see what they can do.
Hello! I have worked at Rethink for a couple of weeks now as an Operations Intern and in that short amount of time I have gained so much knowledge and met so many dedicated and hardworking people that all share the same goal of working to end hunger. Rethink is a team of individuals that work hard everyday to provide meals to people around New York City. Rethink is an amazing nonprofit organization because they are continuously expanding, working to do more, and always putting other people first. Rethink has a powerful mission and is successfully achieving their goals. The Rethink team walks the walk instead of just talking the talk!
Rethink is an amazing charity that provides an essential service to people experiencing food insecurity. The truly remarkable thin about Rethink is their dedication not only to the community service organizers but also to the restaurants and kitchens donating to them. They are fully committed to making the redistribution of excess food as easy and straight forward as possible for everyone involved. The kitchen team works so hard to turn un used food into creative, delicious and satisfying meals and the outreach team is truly dedicated to working with the community to make sure everyone's needs are met.
Rethink not only addresses food insecurity by providing delicious food to those in need, they also work to reduce the environmental footprint of excess food going to waste. What sets Rethink apart from other food recovery operations, is their full time kitchen staff that creates meals from the excess food they pick up. Rethink is a great solution for restaurants, urban farms, supermarkets and corporate kitchens to minimize the waste they have.
I personally know some of the wonderful people who run and work for this nonprofit. I think it is genius how them manage to solve so many of the issues that effect our social and environmental world. Taking healthy nutritious food which was destined for the land fill and serving people who do not always have access to such healthy meals. These people work incredibly hard at all hours of the day and night to serve good food to good people!
I have seen their operation, and it is well managed and run by people who saw a need and and did something about it! Rethink is a great organization!!!
