OUR MISSION

Solving the barriers between excess and scarcity

In the United States, 40% of food goes to waste while 34 million Americans experience food insecurity. We're currently wasting more than double the amount of food needed to end hunger. Sharing Excess is dedicated rescuing perfectly edible surplus and providing equitable access to food for communities everywhere.

Think of this as food cost savings that we've provided back to the communities we serve, instead of letting all that valuable food go to waste in a landfill.

Food waste accounts for 8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. If food waste were a country, it would be the third largest contributor to global warming.

how we do it

Sharing Excess makes it easy to donate fresh food

Perishable food can be difficult to donate in a timely manner. We specialize in making it ridiculously easy for businesses of all shapes and sizes to donate surplus food anytime, anywhere.

Retail Rescue

Perfect for grocery stores, retailers, restaurants, cafes, and catering halls. Drivers are guided by our mobile app and use vans, cars, box trucks, etc. to rescue food.

Wholesale Rescue

We work with high-volume food wholesalers to glean, pack, and distribute surplus food to local food banks and hundreds of community organizations.
