Testimonials
“We are proud to partner with ICT Food Rescue because people in Wichita should never go hungry. The concept of giving leftover food to someone in need may be simple to consider, but there are unavoidable challenges that make it easier for restaurants to simply throw away good food. ICT Food Rescue removes the logistical barriers and puts our good food directly into the hands of deserving people. They reduce friction and create immediate measurable impact.”

“Rise Farms is proud to be a food donor for ICT Food Rescue. By donating our surplus food to ICT Food Rescue, we ensure that our farm is operating in a no waste manner. Further, the tag line for all our food businesses is: ‘Food is Art. Food is Culture. Food is Medicine. Food is Social Justice’ This tag line illustrates our belief that our food is grown for everyone from chefs in high-end restaurants to citizens living in the 23 miles of food dessert and food insecure neighborhoods of our community. It would be much more difficult if not impossible to get our surplus food to the people who need it if it were not for ICT Food Rescue. We are beholden and appreciative.”

Is it safe to donate and/or receive rescued food surplus?
Yes. The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act passed into law by Congress in 1997 states that donors are protected from both civil and criminal liability when donating food in good faith to a non-profit organization even if the donated food later causes harm to a recipient. This law was created to encourage the donation of food and grocery products.
