412 Food Rescue
Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Full-time

412 Food Rescue is a direct response to the disconnect between the fact that we waste 40% of our food while 1 in 8 goes hungry. Utilizing technology (Food Rescue Hero) and civic engagement, 412 Food Rescue collects surplus food that might otherwise be thrown away and delivers it immediately to organizations that serve those who are food insecure.

Areas of Responsibility: 

412 Food Rescue relies on our community of partners, financial supporters, and volunteers to pursue our mission of ending food waste and hunger throughout the region.To automate the time consuming and variable coordination of food recovery, 412 Food Rescue created the Food Rescue Hero software that we license to users throughout the USA and Canada. This unique software, with mobile functionality, enables scalable impact on food waste, food insecurity and climate change. Reporting to the Board of Directors and acting as the highest-ranking employee, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will have overall strategic and operational responsibility for staff, product and services, financial health, sustainability, and execution of mission.

The goals of this position are to:

  • Provide strategic vision, leadership and growth for staff within the direction set by the Board
  • Define key performance indicators (KPIs); in conjunction with board and other stakeholders, define strategic priorities.
  • Create and manage annual organizational budget.
  • Attract, develop and lead a team of engaged employees capable of delivering an excellent experience for our partners.
  • Define and execute strategic growth to maximize operational impact, earned revenue and brand reputation.

About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Food / Agriculture / Nutrition
Nonprofit Support/ Consulting
Mission: 

We prevent perfectly good food from entering the waste stream by redirecting it to those who are experiencing food insecurity.

Programs: 

We partner with food retailers, volunteer drivers, and nonprofit organizations to connect surplus food with individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity. Our intuitive app guides thousands of volunteers who we call Food Rescue Heroes, to rescue perfectly good but unsellable food that would otherwise be wasted and redirect it to people who need it.

Our food donor partners range from grocery stores, wholesalers, caterers, and everything in between. Our nonprofit partners include housing authorities, daycare centers, churches, community centers, and more.

Our model of food recovery and redistribution not only enables access to healthy food, but gets food to where people already are – overcoming barriers like transportation and time. 87% of the food we rescue is fresh food; primarily produce, meat, dairy, bread, and more.

While food rescue is the core element of our work, we do many other things to address food waste and hunger in our region, like creating meals from surplus food, equipping people with better cooking skills, creating innovative products from food waste, and distributing “unsellable” produce in a CSA program.
