Cultivate Food Rescue has continued to respond to the needs of the community throughout this crisis!
Delivery of Meals to Lincoln Schools
Over the summer, Cultivate Food Rescue continued to provide hundreds of nutritious meals weekly to public school children through a collaborative effort with the local school system, which has been overseeing the distribution process.
Bread of Life Food Pantry Milk Delivery in Plymouth, Indiana
We have partnered with food pantries in St. Joseph, Elkhart, and Marshall counties to redistribute rescued food to those who are most in need during these challenging times.
Our partnership with South Bend Community School Corporation’s CTE (Career & Technical Education) Program is off to a great start with students utilizing our facilities during their culinary arts training program and helping to prepare the meals that will then be delivered to children in their very own school system!
