2019: Asian Americans and Homelessness

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) is a food rescue nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating food waste and hunger. They arrange pickups of leftover food and deliver it to local human service agencies including homeless shelters. They aim to become the world’s most widely used solution for companies and individuals to eliminate food waste in their communities, making food rescue sustainable and universal, and food hunger a thing of the past.

“We've seen more engagement on our social media platforms, and more people mentioning us. I think overall, it helped us get a sense of how we should be directing our social media efforts. It definitely saved us money (about $2,500/month worth) in fees for social media posts to be created. Thanks so much again!!”
