The Rescued Food Market is an affordable and sustainable market stocked with rescued, quality surplus from grocery stores, farms, and wholesalers. Rescued Food is surplus food discarded by suppliers for a variety of reasons including: imperfections, overstocking, and approaching the best-before date. However, it is still edible, healthy, and quality food!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Our Rescued Food Market operates with a membership system, granting access solely to registered members. Each cohort of registered members will have access to 12 markets over a defined 3-month period - 1 market per week on Thursdays from 3-7 pm.

    Due to increased demand for the market program, membership is determined by a randomized lottery following online registration. One week before the start of each new market cycle, we hold a lottery to determine membership for the subsequent 3 months. This allows equal opportunity for previous members and the general public to access the market. 

    If chosen in the lottery, each participant will be assigned a regular weekly appointment time. If assistance is needed with online registration for the lottery, in-person help is available at the Food Stash Warehouse, please contact us for assistance.
