Let’s End Hunger In Our Community
An ambitious goal to raise $10 Million dollars.
What if we can be the first community to set an example in this field? What if we could get all food businesses to donate any excess food or even purposely make a little extra for their hungry neighbors? What if the non-food service businesses joined in this effort by sponsoring and volunteering their time? That is the vision we are chasing. Are you in?

Cultivate’s proposed 21,000 sq. ft. community freezer and distribution center.
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.
