More Ways to Give. More Meals Rescued.
Your support helps make every food rescue possible. Give in the way that works for you and contribute to a future without hunger and wasted food.
Give Today and Transform Lives
Hunger is a problem we can solve together. Right now, 1 in 5 families in our community face food insecurity, unsure where their next meal will come from. At the same time, millions of pounds of perfectly good food are wasted every year.
With your support, we rescue food and deliver it where it’s needed most.
Your gift - large or small - makes a big difference:
- $25 fuels a food rescue that delivers enough food for 75 meals to a pantry, foodbank, or shelter.
- $100 helps rescue over 3,000 pounds of food, turning surplus into nourishment.
- $1,200 funds one full day of fleet operations, drivers, two vans, a box truck, and fuel.
- $5,000 funds one week of operations for our refrigerated container.
The Impact of Your Generosity
When you donate, you’re not just giving money; you’re giving stability to people facing hunger.
Last Mile turns every dollar into action, rescuing and delivering food that would otherwise be wasted. With your support, we maximize every contribution to create systemic change in our community.
Together, we can rescue food, feed families, and reduce waste.

“Planned giving is one of the most meaningful ways to build a better future. I’m proud to support Last Mile in this way, and I hope you’ll join me.” - John Pepper
