The Harvest Project Food Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit that was started to fight food insecurity and food waste in the city of Dallas. We are supported and run by our volunteers. With the help of our community partners, we are able to distribute free fresh produce baskets to hundreds of families a week.
It all started when…
In 2014, the Harvest Project Food Rescue was born from the need to meet food insecurity in many low income parts of Dallas. In partnership with South Coast Produce Inc., our Founders Danae Gutierrez and Luis Carrillo started redirecting imperfect produce that would not be bought by grocery stores to undeserved and food insecure communities.
The focus of the food distribution program is to make produce accessible to all families with no requirements or charge.
OUR VISION
To fight food waste and food insecurity by rescuing surplus produce destined for the landfill and redirecting them to communities in need.
We are helping our communities decolonize their diet to live a healthier life and promote a sustainable food system. We are dedicated to spearheading city policy and state laws to achieve food justice for all communities.
