Rescue 500 million pounds with us!
We're on the cusp of our biggest milestone yet—500 million pounds of fruits and vegetables rescued and distributed since our inception in 2009! That's over 2.5 BILLION servings of nutrient-dense produce in the hands of our friends and neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
The need for free, nutritious food in our local communities has never been more urgent.
With the soaring prices of groceries and more than 5 million Californians relying on food assistance that's at risk of being cut from government programs like SNAP, your support is vital.
In the US, nearly one-third of produce ends up in landfills. Access to healthy, nutritious food should be a basic human right—not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. Your donation can help bridge that gap.
Fresh fruits and veggies belong in people's bellies, NOT landfills!
