Potluck Food Rescue’s Mission with Yvette Parker and Sarah Fritschie

In this episode of You're Invited, host Kim welcomes volunteers Sarah Fritschie and Yvette Parker to discuss Potluck Food Rescue, a Central Arkansas organization that has spent nearly three decades fighting food insecurity and food waste. Established in 1991, the volunteer-based non-profit partners with local restaurants, caterers, and food distributors like Ben E. Keith to rescue perishable, high-quality food before it goes to waste. rescued meals are then distributed to local pantries, shelters, and mobile free markets serving rural food deserts across the state. The discussion highlights the organization's innovative app connecting volunteer drivers to food pickups, as well as their upcoming fall fundraiser, Driving Away Hunger. Taking place September 24th at the East Side Scrapyard, the casual event features food from top area restaurants, live music from The Hounds, a wine toss, and unique auction packages. Listeners will learn how to get involved, volunteer, or support Potluck's mission during Hunger Action Month.
