We have finally thawed out from our Skate Date last weekend. Thank you to everyone who came out to support 412 Food Rescue at our debut event. Missed the Skate Date? You can help 412 Food Rescue in their mission to end food waste by becoming a Food Rescue Hero. Check out the video of our team using the Food Rescue Hero app.

Also, please plan to join us next Thursday on 3/14 for Pi(e) Squared, our Pi Day celebration at East End Brewing in Larimer. We’re partnering with Piebird to bring you some sweet deals and fun.
