Let’s End Hunger In Our Community
It was an ambitious goal to raise $10 Million dollars.
We. Did. It.
This campaign will help us grow from rescuing 1 million pounds of food per year to 20 million pounds of food per year! Hunger and food waste are problems that can be solved with one solution. Food rescue. This effort plays a vital role in fighting hunger while improving sustainability and resource stewardship.
More space to serve
10X increase in space–21,000 square foot community freezer, increasing our food pallet positions from 200 to 2,036 pallets.
Less wasted food
133 billion pounds of food are wasted each year in the US. Not in our community and not on our watch.
More sustainable
We can reduce the environmental impact of food waste in our community by the equivalent of 4,040 passenger cars driven for an entire year, 2.15 million gallons of gasoline, and 2.4 billion cell phone charges!
Efficient operations
Rescuing more perishable food lowers per meal operating cost. That means more food rescued and served more efficiently.
Logistics solved
Food insecurity is very much a logistics problem that can be solved with infrastructure and planning. This facility is the next step.
Real community impact
We could supply every child (43,847) on free or reduced lunch in our community with two meals per day which improves education, health, and overall life trajectory.
