About Satisfy Food Rescue
It all began in March 2014 when a group of like-minded individuals got together to discuss setting up a food rescue organization in North Canterbury.
From this Satisfy Food Rescue was born. We are all passionate about reducing food wastage and making healthy food available to everyone.
Our Vision
Thriving, strong, satisfied and sustainable community.
