This Earth Day, support the work that keeps food out of landfills and puts it to good use.
Charitable food funding is being cut. So it’s even more urgent that we use the food we already have. We turn good food that would otherwise go to waste into helping, not harming, our community. And to keep up with growing demand, we need more kitchen tools to match the scale of our work.
This is not about filling gaps. It is about building smarter, lasting systems that move food efficiently and effectively.
