Rescue

Grocery stores, caterers, restaurants, event centers, convenient stores, wholesalers and other food vendors donate their excess perishable food, rather than throwing it away.

Transport

Professional drivers/food ambassadors use refrigerated vehicles to pick up surplus food from scheduled and on-call donors and deliver it the same day to our nonprofit partners.

Deliver

Food pantries, shelters, children's programs, senior centers, transitional living facilities and other nonprofit partners receive this healthy, perishable food, free of charge, to feed those in need.

CORE VALUES

Collaboration, Impact, Integrity, Community

OUR MISSION
