When you donate, you deserve to know exactly how your contribution is fueling the fight against wasted food.
Scaling the Community
Your support allows us to onboard new community partners nationwide and new food donors—from local businesses to national distributors— ensuring that surplus food is recovered and delivered before it reaches a landfill.
Powering the Logistics
Moving perishable food requires speed, precision, and efficiency. We fund the transportation costs necessary to safely deliver fresh and nutritious ingredients into the hands of partner nonprofits.
Advancing the Technology
We invest in our real-time matching platform that connects food businesses to nearby community partners. Through special programs like the Fairness Algorithm* and RescueRoute our digital infrastructure makes large-scale food recovery fast, reliable, equitable, and scalable.
