Our goal is to bridge the gap between food surplus and food insecurity, making nutritious meals accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. Our work includes moving food donations of any type and size, large or small, bulk or retail, prepared or frozen. We work hand in hand with community organizations to distribute surplus food to those who need it most.
