ABOUT US
Sharing Excess is using surplus
to fight scarcity.
In communities everywhere, food is going to waste while people suffer from food insecurity. This is a disconnect created by the logistical barriers between excess and scarcity. If solved, this connection could ensure food security for all people living on our planet.
But as vast a problem as food waste is, the solution often boils down to simple last mile logistics and delivery. Sharing Excess is meeting this challenge with the power of people, technology, and compassion.
Founded in Philadelphia in 2018, Sharing Excess is scaling human compassion to meet a global challenge that has existed long before our mission was born. Our work addresses the crucial need for food by delivering regular surplus from grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers to communities in need.
By embracing the imagination of students, change-makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, we're changing a broken food system. Together with our partners, clever logistics, and custom software, our movement will eliminate the barriers between excess and scarcity.
Meet the team!
Sharing Excess is a lean startup team, proudly powered by passionate college students and recent grads. The crew consists of folks working in full-time, part-time, co-op, internship, and volunteer positions. Collaborating remotely around from anywhere, our work has proven that college students can play a vital role in solving one of the world's greatest problems.
