Our mission is to keep food out of landfills and slow climate change by creating lasting solutions to food waste through education, food upcycling and advocacy.
We keep food from going to waste by making sure it goes to
feed people, not landfills.

Ready to take action to reduce wasted food? There are lots of ways you can support this work, including donating funds, donating food, volunteering, or making a commitment to take action on food waste in your own home and community.
We’re a community of people who know that food is better eaten than wasted. It’s better for your budget, better for our community, and better for our planet.
As a nonprofit, we rely on your donations to help make Detroit and beyond a better place to live and eat. If everyone reading this donated, we could achieve our goals for years. Please join us!
