Food Justice Project

Since the closing of our Free Grocery Store, Sustainable Renton has continued to move thousands of pounds of gleaned food each week to relief organizations all around South King County! This rescued food directly supports nearly a dozen humanitarian organizations in and around Renton!

​

We have volunteer opportunities to help glean, sort, and distribute rescued food to help fight food insecurity.​
