When food is lost, money is lost

Our goal for food recovery is to work with restaurants, schools, govt. facilities, supermarkets & entertainment venues to rescue their surplus food before it’s thrown in the trash. Perishable and non-perishable food can be distributed to local food pantries and food banks within hours. Not only can food donation help create an appreciation and understanding with employees that ‘Food is Money,’ but it can also impact your bottom line.
