Help Alyssa raise money

Alyssa is running the 2025 PGH marathon for 412 Food Rescue! This is an amazing non-profit organization in Pittsburgh, PA that prevents perfectly good food from entering the waste stream by redirecting it to those who are experiencing food insecurity.

Thanks to thousands of volunteer drivers — the Food Rescue Heroes —  they are able to recover and redistribute perfectly healthy food directly to people who need it.

412 Food Rescue was founded as a direct response to the disconnect between food waste, hunger, and environmental sustainability. We waste up to 40% of our food globally (translating to over 1.3 billion tons annually), while 1 in 7 people go hungry every day. According to ReFed, if we recovered about half (46 billion pounds) of the food being wasted, we could feed every hungry person in the United States 3 meals a day, every day.

Not to mention, food waste is an environmental problem. Food production uses 10% of the energy budget, 50% of the land and 80% of all freshwater consumed in the United States. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, over 97% of food waste generated ends up in a landfill.
