Fueling Change for Nonprofits

Through partnerships with over 180 nonprofits, we provide fresh, healthy surplus food to shelters, meal programs, and housing initiatives. Our work helps nonprofits save resources so they can focus on their core program work.

Collaborating with Local Businesses

More than 200 businesses have joined us in fighting food waste and supporting community efforts. From grocers to restaurants, our partners make it possible to redirect surplus food to where it’s needed most, giving back to the community while reducing their environmental impact.

Powered by People

Our network of volunteers is the heart of what we do. Our volunteers deliver food, one rescue at a time, creating a direct connection between surplus food and nonprofit organizations. Flexible scheduling and a user-friendly app makes it easy for anyone to get involved.
