Rosa’s Second Harvest is rooted in the belief that no edible food should go to waste while neighbors go hungry. In rural Georgia, farms often produce more than the market can absorb—yet barriers in cold storage, transportation, and logistics prevent surplus from reaching those who need it most. Our food rescue and recovery efforts bridge this gap by creating a community-centered system that captures, preserves, and redirects nutritious food to local families. This approach not only addresses food insecurity but also reduces landfill waste and supports more regenerative, community-based food systems.
