Fredericton Food Rescue
FFR is a Fredericton based food picking project, supported by volunteers inspired by the desire to give back to the community, reduce food waste and promote sustainable living.
Our group is building a network of farmers and backyard growers who are keen to have their excess fruit and vegetables harvested by volunteers for their families and for local food banks and other charitable food organizations in the Fredericton area.
OUR MODEL
⅓ goes to local food banks,
⅓ goes back to the grower,
⅓ goes to the volunteer.

OUR MISSION
To create a community of volunteers willing to harvest delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables for sharing between growers, volunteer pickers and community organizations. All involved aim to decrease food waste, promote healthy eating and increase access to healthy food.
