The Leftovers Foundation
The Leftovers Foundation’s mission in to ensure that surplus good food gets to community members who need it, rather than ending up in landfills to rot. Leftovers’ Rescue Food program makes sure good food keeps moving to people who need it. Their program empowers volunteers to connect food donors with service agencies distributing food to vulnerable community members. In 2023, Leftovers Foundation rescued over 1,050,000 lbs of food and delivered it to over 300 local organizations.
Every $1 contributed to Leftovers’ Rescue Food program saves their service agency partners over $7 in food costs, which means they have more funding available to help members of our community meet other basic needs, support themselves and their families, and thrive.
