Food Rescue Log

Thank you for your willingness to help our environment and our neighbor families.

This form will help us track, measure and report how much we are diverting from the waste stream.  You will only enter the pounds rescued, no decimals, round as close as possible.

Please be as thorough as possible, this information is super helpful because it helps us show the type of waste diverted and the environmental impact. If it does not apply, just leave blank.  If you have any additional info you feel would be helpful in us tracking, please feel free to share it!  

Thanks again for being a Food Rescue Hero!

Example: 5 is entered for the weight.  Please just enter the number, don't include the lbs, or any additional comments.

Supporting Food Rescue & Waste Reduction with CalRecycle

Porchlight Community Services is proud to receive partial funding from CalRecycle’s Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Grant Program. This support has allowed us to expand our food rescue efforts with a refrigerated van, invest in essential processing equipment, and promote sustainable solutions to reduce food waste in our community.

Through this grant, we can recover more edible food, extend its shelf life, and provide nutritious options to more people. It also helps us educate the community through workshops and events, like our DIY Beeswax Wrap Workshop, where we share practical ways to minimize food waste at home.

CalRecycle’s Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Grant Program is part of California’s larger effort to reduce organic waste in landfills, fight climate change, and improve food access. Learn more about this initiative here.
