September 17, 2026 | Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library
A delicious celebration of sustainability and community impact, bringing together local chefs, mixologists, entertainers, volunteers, and allies.
Let’s toast to ten years of rescuing food in the DMV!
WE RESCUE!
Featuring food and drinks from more than a dozen area restaurants, our annual event brings together the volunteers, food businesses, Community Partners, and supporters who make DC Food Rescue possible. This zero-waste event includes a silent auction, open bar, and an inspiring program honoring DC Food Rescue’s longevity.
This fundraiser generates critical revenue for ENUF to continue fighting food waste and alleviating hunger across the DC metro area. By supporting and joining us at our event, you help us grow our community, keep food out of landfill, and nourish our neighbors.
Can’t join us on September 17th?
Zero Waste
Embodying our sustainability mission, WE RESCUE! has been a zero-waste event since 2024. All cutlery, plates, bowls, cups, napkins, paper, cans, bottles, and food scraps from our event are recycled or composted, rather than contributing to landfill.
At the end of the night, guests can rescue leftovers from our buffet to enjoy at home. Any remaining food is donated to a Community Partner to benefit DC residents experiencing food insecurity.
Sustainability Sponsors
Compost Cab collects all of the evening’s compostable items and food scraps. They deliver the refuse to their processing facility in Maryland, where it is converted into compost to nourish local farm and garden soils.
