Food Donors

We rescue food from nearly 2,000 businesses. Our goal is to source as much excess food as we can and put it to good use feeding our hungry neighbors. We rescue produce from local farmers, excess ingredients and prepared meals from restaurants, pre-packaged sandwiches and salads from cafes, high-quality packaged goods from wholesalers, and meat and dairy from the supermarkets in your neighborhood. We also procure national food donations through membership in Feeding America.

The majority of the food we rescue and deliver is fresh produce.

In 2020, this was the make-up of the food we rescued and delivered:
