Here's how we are doing our part each day, with our professional team and fleet of refrigerated trucks.

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

Connect perishable food from local food purveyors to local nonprofits that feed our hungry, while raising awareness and educating the community on wasted food and hunger.

OUR VISION

Feed the hungry by rescuing the heartland’s bounty that would otherwise go to waste.

GOOD FOR PEOPLE

Food insecurity impacts 1 in 7 in our community. Providing healthy food while reducing waste creates a more equitable food system for all. We believe everyone deserves equal access to good nutrition.

GOOD FOR THE PLANET

More than one-third of food produced is wasted. Keeping food out of our landfills reduces greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to global climate change. It also saves money, water and other natural resources.
