\nWhat a food rescue?
\nFood rescue is a little different from fo od pantries. \; Food rescues have little to no barriers\, like income requirements. \; In our case\, we only ask for a sign-in to record our numbers. \; Food rescues take food that is still good but about to co me up on its expiration and best-by dates and gets it into the hands of pe ople like you! This reduces food waste. \; Based on an EPA estimate\, "Food waste comprises \;about 24 percent of municipal solid waste disp osed of in landfills. Due to its quick decay rate\, food waste in landfill s is contributing to more \;methane emissions \;than any other lan dfilled materials." \; With one vehicle transporting all this food\, w e can also reduce emissions.
\nSee below for additional deta ils:
\nThe Indian Springs Library will be ready for our foo d pick-up with our first person being in at 11:30 am. \; We will host the first round of this rescue until 2:45 pm. \; Following that\, if w e have additional food left\, we'll go into Second Helpings\, starting at 3 pm until 3:30 pm\, or until the food is gone!
\nFor those arriving early\, please note we will have limited chairs in the lobby\, courtesy o f our local Clark County Parks and Rec crew. \; Doors and entryways th at must remain clear for traffic are marked by blue tape\, and we ask chai rs not be put in those areas. \; \;
\nDue to limited food availability a nd high demand\, we are asking that everyone be present to pick up their f ood\, that sign-ins are per household (if you're at the same address\, you are considered one household)\, and to please note that items are limited to ensure there is enough food for everyone. \; Everyone is welcome t o return between 3 and 3:30 pm to pick up additional food items without th e item limitations.
\nThis program is possible only through our amaz ing team of volunteers and our friends at Celestial Manna\, Three Square\, and Trader Joe's. \; \;
\nThis program is free and open to the public. \; Food items are on a first-come\, first-served basis and most items are limited to ensure there is enough for everyone to get some fresh goods. \; Please contact us with any questions you may have at 702.879.3845.
