BRIDGES recovers food from over 20 supermarkets, retail chains, bakeries, and farms and distributes directly to 40 food pantries and feeding programs throughout Rockland County.  BRIDGES is part of a collaborative team through Rockland Community Against Hunger (RCAH), which includes TOUCH, Meals on Wheels, Catholic Charities, and the Martin Luther King Center.

BRIDGES Food Recovery Program was originally funded through the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.  With additional funding from the Rockland County Department of Social Services (DSS), the program expanded.  The RCAH collaboration has steadily grown from recovering and distributing 40,333 pounds of food in 2018 to recovering and distributing over a million pounds of nutritious food to people in need in 2025. We are now recovering 1.3 million pounds of food annually and directly distributing it to 40 food pantries and meal programs.
