We believe that everyone should have access to the basic resources they need to live a happy & healthy lives– especially when those same resources are going to waste by the billions. Not only does waste hurt our planet, but it's a missed opportunity for humanity. That's why we're committed to making it easier to share surplus in communities everywhere.
All the while, at least 34 million Americans experience food insecurity. We're currently wasting more than double the amount of food needed to close the "hunger gap."

In 2018, while attending Drexel University as a student studying entrepreneurship, Evan Ehlers decided to donate all his unused meal swipes from his dining account that he knew he wouldn't be able to use before the end of the term. After driving around Philadelphia giving away his meals for free, he realized a great need for food in his community and a massively untapped potential to share perfectly edible food that was going to waste across the city. This day changed his life forever and was the inspiration for Sharing Excess. 20 million meals later, Sharing Excess is quickly expanding to new cities and challenging the status quo of food rescue in America.
