LANSING, Mich. — The state capitol neighborhood reporter followed a food rescue. It's food at a local store that's set to be thrown away, instead goes to a community organization, and then to neighbors' homes. These missions are becoming important as neighbors who rely on food stamps aim to get food on the table.
- A food rescue is when food at a local store is set to be thrown away, instead goes to a community organization like a food pantry. It then goes to neighbors' homes.
- According to the leadership of the food rescue of Lansing, they have been able to save over 400,000 pounds of food since 2023.
- The food from the rescue headed over to the LMTS Outreach services, where they say they are able to serve more families thanks to the food donation.
