Make Your Extra Food Go Extra Far
The last mile in rescuing good food begins with our Food Donors. From food distributors and grocery stores with good meat, dairy or produce that’s reached its expiration date to local event centers and companies with meals leftover from events or corporate luncheons, every donation partner has the power to make a huge impact.
If you have any questions about donating food, please contact us at [email protected].
