Food To Power makes it convenient for residents and businesses to keep food, paper and yard “wastes” out of the trash and instead have it turned into compost.

Composting not only prevents disastrous gases from the landfill, it also boosts soil fertility for healthier plants, people and planet.

Founded in 2013, our flagship program designed to reduce food waste while increasing food access, quickly evolved into our “organism with a mission” — multi-faceted programming working together to cultivate a healthy, equitable food system in the greater Colorado Springs community.

So, we’ve recently changed our name and look from Colorado Springs Food Rescue to Food to Power in order to reflect the breadth of work we do more clearly.

We know that food is an essential source of everyone’s power to work, play, serve, and live. Our mission is to transform every aspect of our food system into co-powerment and equity. From food, to power.
