Bagel Rescue

Turning Leftovers into Lifelines. Bagel Rescue is a community-powered nonprofit on a mission to reduce food waste and fight hunger by rescuing unsold bagels and baked goods from local bakeries and delivering them to organizations feeding our neighbors in need. What began in Atlanta has grown into a model of food rescue that’s expanding into new cities. Each week, our 250+ volunteers collect fresh food from 60+ bakery partners and deliver it to 150+ food programs across 12 counties, preventing thousands of pounds of good food from going to waste and redistributing it with dignity. We believe food is more than nourishment. It’s connection, care, and community. • Want to get involved? We're looking for corporate sponsors, bakery partners, and mission-aligned collaborators who want to make an impact. From workplace volunteer days to custom giving campaigns, we’re ready to build something meaningful together. • Join us this November for Bagel Bash 2025! This high-impact, high-energy celebration of our 5-year anniversary is the perfect opportunity to support our mission, connect with changemakers, and showcase your brand’s commitment to food justice. Sponsor opportunities now open: Bagels are round for a reason. They connect. And so do we – give us a follow or say hi.
