We’re grateful to hospitals like Kaiser for donating surplus healthy meals, preventing waste and feeding our community. These ready-to-eat meals go to senior centers, shelters, and housing programs—this is food recovery in action.

When food ends up in landfills, it contributes to climate change by releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Reducing food waste fights hunger, conserves water & reduces greenhouse gas emissions. We recover perfectly good food BEFORE it’s wasted, benefiting both people & the planet.

Thank you to Christine for rescuing surplus bread and baked goods from Arizmendi Bakery. This delicious food was redistributed to the Apollo Hotel, which provides much needed permanent, supportive housing for formerly homeless and very low-income adults in San Francisco.

What does a packed car mean? It means we're delivering free groceries and meals for the people we serve. Every box we load up is one less meal wasted and one more neighbor fed.
