Since 1993, Community Food Response in Rochester, Minnesota has provided free meals to hungry people.
No proof of eligibility is required to receive food. All who need food are welcome. The food we distribute is rescued from hospitals, restaurants, caterers, grocery stores and other commercial kitchens in Rochester. In addition to helping people in need, CFR helps reduce the amount of food waste generated by area businesses.
