Sharing Excess
Sharing Excess uses surplus as a solution to scarcity. In the USA, over 120 billion pounds of food goes to waste each year, while more than 38 million Americans experience food insecurity. If we were able to rescue and redistribute even half of the food going to waste, we could feed all Americans experiencing food insecurity each year. By partnering with grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers, Sharing Excess rescues unsold and surplus food and delivers it to communities and organizations addressing food insecurity. In 2022, Sharing Excess aims to deliver enough food to provide more than 4 million meals to communities in need.
