What’s New Version 3.3.1
Bug Fixes & Improvements
- Fixed a UI issue that incorrectly allowed template owners to reclaim already claimed rescue instances
- Removed an outdated instruction popover on the donation flow
- Minor interface improvements
Description
Up to 40% of food goes to waste, while 1 in 7 individuals is experiencing food insecurity.
Join a nationwide movement to combat food waste and hunger with the Food Rescue Hero app™. Designed for volunteers and food recovery organizations, this innovative platform empowers communities to redirect surplus food to those in need, making a tangible impact on food insecurity and environmental sustainability.
Why It Matters
• Reduce Food Waste: Up to 40% of food produced goes to waste–and with it, all the resources that went into growing, transporting, and packaging this food.
• Alleviate Hunger: 1 in 7 individuals is experiencing food insecurity, and less than a third of the wholesome food that goes to waste would be enough to close this hunger gap.
• Protect the Environment: Food waste is the #1 methane emitter in landfills, and contributes more greenhouse gas emissions in a year than global air travel. Reducing food waste is imperative in reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Key Features
• User-Friendly Interface: Navigate the app with ease, whether you're tech-savvy or new to digital tools.
• Flexible Scheduling: Volunteer on your terms, with options that fit into any lifestyle.
• Real-Time Notifications: Stay informed about rescue opportunities in your area.
• Impact Tracking: See the difference you're making in your community through personalized impact reports.
How It Works
1. Sign Up & Set Preferences: Download the app and customize your availability and preferred rescue areas.
2. Get Notified: Receive alerts when surplus food needs rescuing near you.
3. Claim a Rescue: Choose rescues that fit your schedule—daily, weekly, or whenever you have time.
4. Pick Up & Deliver: Follow step-by-step instructions to collect surplus food from donors and deliver it to local nonprofits distributing food to your community.
5. See Your Impact: Deliver directly to organizations that distribute the food, witnessing firsthand the impact your time makes.
Ready to make a difference? Download the Food Rescue Hero app and become part of a growing network committed to ending food waste and hunger!

Build 880856202v3.2.22025-12-22 14:44:48
We’ve improved network stability and resolved issues that were preventing some users from accessing the app:
• Fixed unexpected logouts that occurred during network interruptions
• Resolved splash screen loading issues on app startup
• Fixed infinite loading spinners that appeared when reconnecting to the network
The app now handles network changes more smoothly, whether you’re switching between WiFi and cellular or experiencing temporary connectivity issues.

You already help rescue food. We’re giving you a way to go even further. Keep an eye out for the new Donate button, designed to make it easier than ever to support your community and drive real environmental impact. Your financial contribution of any size is essential fuel that helps get good food to the people who need it most while reducing waste and protecting the planet.
Build 873950803v3.1.02025-04-14 19:52:35
- It used to be too easy to drop a template—that yellow button was hard to resist. Now it’s slightly more difficult to inadvertently drop a recurring rescue when you just want to request a sub.
- We’ve eradicated the last vestige of no-contact imperatives in our app. (We still love our introverted volunteers!)
- Our app went rogue, practically extorting you for notification permissions in exchange for access to certain rescues. Our engineers have successfully neutralized the threat.
- Mobile users on Apple devices running on older OS versions (iOS 16 or older) weren’t able to use the app, but now they can! Planned obsolescence just isn’t our bag, baby.
Build 868237426v3.0.02024-08-19 01:58:08
This release fixes a few bugs as well as improves the display for instructions during a rescue when using larger font sizes on the device.

Build 860551018v2.0.02024-02-19 04:45:35
- Some devices/versions were unable to select a preferred mapping software
- In the event of a route directions failure, the app now attempts the connection two more times before displaying an error message
- The History tab of My Rescues listed previously completed rescues in an unintuitive order. Now they will show up as expected: reverse chronological order
- Available rescues were, under certain circumstances, shown twice in list view
- Available weekly rescues were not shown in chronological order in list view
- Biweekly (every other week) rescues, under certain circumstances were not displaying according to the correct schedule in Upcoming Rescues
- My rescues and Available Rescues did not consistently display the correct dates for upcoming rescues
- When the “Add Item” button was tapped in the mobile app, the screen would become obstructed by the “Next” button
- Fixed workflow for users that select “I don’t see my region” from the “Choose your region” dropdown menu
- Eliminated some social sharing bugs by switching to use the device's native sharing process
