For the love of food
What we save today feeds the future
We're cutting Michigan's food waste in half by 2030.
Our mission is to make sure that edible, surplus food gets eaten by people (not landfills) and to lay the groundwork for lasting, long-term solutions to food waste—because preventing food from going to waste protects our air, water, and soil.
Every Bit Counts
We are engaging six major cities in Metro Detroit, representing a population of 600,000 people, helping them activate prevention, rescue, and organics recycling actions.
Upcycling Kitchens
Our team of professional chefs turn excess food into delicious, nutritious, and dignified meals for people in the community facing food insecurity.
