See the directoryRoughly a third of all food in the U.S. is thrown away, even as millions of families struggle to put meals on the table. The gap usually comes down to one thing: getting surplus food from where it is to where it's needed.
We close that gap with a simple network of neighbors and volunteers. Every pickup keeps good food out of the landfill and gets it onto someone's plate.
