Event Description

The Event:

Boost is proud to present its inaugural event in support of 412 Food Rescue.

Join us for an inspiring and informative fundraiser with a brief presentation on 412 Food Rescue + short film about food waste (7 - 8 PM in Row House Cinema) and food + craft beers (8 - 10 PM next door in Atlas Bottle Works). We'll also get a sneak peek of the 412 Food Rescue app set to launch late summer. Uber for food rescue anyone?

We are also pleased to be joined by Pittsburgh City Councilman Dan Gilman, who will briefly discuss the impact 412 Food Rescue has had on feeding hungry children via his Linden Backpack Initiative.

Come join us for the fun!

Each $25 ticket includes admission and food. Proceeds of tickets and donated beer (brand TBD) goes to 412 Food Rescue.

NOTE: We'll be serving enough food that you shouldn't be hungry (i.e. around what you'd expect for a lunch). If you'd like a full on 4 course meal consider heading to one of the nearby restaurants afterwards.

Boost:

Boost is a brand new organization that provides unique fundraising events, support, and increased exposure for local non-profits and socially conscious ventures—We make community enhancing initiatives come to life!

412 Food Rescue:

Fact: We waste enough food to feed all those who are hungry--four times over.

Fact: If food waste was a country, it will be the third largest source of green house gas emissions in the world.

412 Food Rescue aims to fight hunger and promote sustainability by preventing perfectly good food from entering the waste stream and directly distributing to organizations that benefit those who are hungry. 412 Food Rescue is a new breed of nonprofit with an innovative technology-based model that presents a scalable and replicable solution designed to tackle food waste not only in Pittsburgh but in any urban region.
