Using our web-based app, we engage volunteers to transfer fresh food surpluses from local businesses to social service agencies serving the food insecure.

We Help The Environment

Food waste remains one of the top solutions to global warming. Currently, food waste is contributing 8 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

We create community
