Sharing Excess rescues more than 1,500,000 pounds of food every week in partnership with grocers, wholesalers, and farmers.
In the United States, nearly 40% of food goes to waste while 47 million Americans go hungry. We believe food should be shared– not wasted.
With innovative technology and a nationwide network, Sharing Excess rescues edible surplus from food businesses and redistributes it to local hunger relief organizations.
Sharing Excess provides solutions for food business of any scale - helping capture surplus and redirect it to community hunger relief organizations.
Designed for grocery stores, restaurants, cafés, and catering halls — any place with daily excess. Our drivers use refrigerated vans and box trucks, guided by our app, to pick up and deliver fresh food to local partners.
We work on-site at major produce markets to glean, pack, and distribute large volumes of surplus food. Perfect for wholesalers who want to do good with what they can’t sell — and avoid costly disposal fees.
For high-volume surplus from farms, manufacturers, and distribution centers, we activate our network of third-party transportation partners to deliver food across the country. It’s bulk-scale food rescue, with zero friction.

Since 2018, Sharing Excess has distributed enough surplus to food to feed over 10 million people across the country. Thanks to our Food Rescue App , we know exactly where every pound of food came from - and where it went. Because food shouldn't go to waste. And impact shouldn't be a mystery.
Our work to end hunger and food waste needs your support. You can help us deliver food directly to communities in need — creating access to nutrition, stability, and food security for millions of people.

From grocery stores, to wholesale markets, to charitable foundations, Sharing Excess is driven to partner across industries to supply fresh food to those in need.
All the food we rescue is donated — we just need to move it. That means your donation isn't spent on buying food or overhead. It goes directly towards transportation and logistics to feed people in need. We keep our costs low so every dollar makes a big impact.
