Program areas at Cultivate Food Rescue

Cultivate serves as a food and logistics hub between food service organizations that have excess food and those who are food insecure. We distribute our rescued food to two primary sources school age kids who are on free and reduced lunch and social service agencies like pantries and soup kitchens who feed the food insecure on a daily basis. The focus of the Cultivate Cares Food Network (CCFN) is to provide valuable, much needed, perishable food items like meat, cheese, fresh fruit, vegetables and proteins. We provide this food at no cost to the agencies that our in our network. We do this so less people especially kids go hungry and to reduce the harmful impact that food waste has on the environment. During the fiscal year ending 06/30/2023, the CCFN program donated 109,338 frozen meals and 1,724,522 pounds of perishable food items to approximately 150 pantries and social service agencies located in the Indiana Counties of St. Joseph, Elkhart and Marshall.
The backpack program is a frozen meal program primarily for students in K-2nd grade. During the fiscal year ending 06/30/2023, 226,805 frozen meals were distributed using rescued food. These meals were donated to 11 community schools in St. Joseph, Elkhart and Marshall County and to social service agencies who serve children.
