Technical Assistance

Plate to Planet

Trying to waste less food but not sure where to start? We help communities, schools, and food service businesses turn food waste goals into practical solutions that work in the real world.

Our team can help assess where food is being wasted, identify opportunities, develop an action plan, engage employees, students or residents, and support implementation. From community food waste plans and school cafeteria programs to commercial kitchen operations, we bring hands-on experience working across the food system.

Every project is customized to your organization, your challenges, and what you want to accomplish.

Mission Catering

Upcycling Kitchen catering

Great food can do more than feed your guests.

Our Mission Catering team creates chef-driven menus for corporate lunches, meetings, conferences, fundraisers, and special events. Each menu is customized around your event, budget, and dietary needs, incorporating wholesome surplus ingredients from local farms, distributors, and food businesses.

We offer everything from drop-off and boxed lunches to buffets, plated meals, passed appetizers, and fully staffed events. We typically serve groups of 30 or more and have catered events for as many as 400 guests.

And when you hire us, your catering dollars go further. Revenue from Mission Catering directly supports Make Food Not Waste’s work to keep food out of landfills and provide nutritious meals to people throughout our community. Your event becomes part of supporting the community.

For organizations that want to share that story with their guests, we can also incorporate information about our mission and impact into the event.
