A more nourished community and less wasteful food system
We redistribute nutritious food that might otherwise go to waste directly to community members in Longmont, Colorado who are experiencing food, housing, or financial insecurity.
A Just and Less Wasteful Food System

40% of all food produced in the United States goes to waste
Food waste in the United States has social, economic, and environmental impacts on our society and the planet.

Addressing food insecurity is crucial to promote health & childhood development, foster economic stability, and uphold basic human rights.

We fill people's plates with what would have otherwise gone to waste
