Their project, Rescue Food Alberta Expansion, Leftovers Foundation will build off their successful food waste and greenhouse gas emission reductions in Edmonton and Calgary, and expand the program in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie, and Fort McMurray. Through a collaborative effort of volunteers, food vendor donors, service agency partners, and staff, Leftovers will reduce the amount of good food sent to landfills (measured through their Rescue Food app) and redirect it to organizations helping Albertans experiencing barriers to food access.
