Chapters play a crucial role in building food sharing networks. By volunteering, fundraising, and advocating, organizers can work with Sharing Excess to promote food security in their community. Chapters can be powered by college students, high schoolers, or everyday community heroes.
Start a Chapter
Rescue surplus food from local food businesses with the help of our team and technology. You can track your chapter's impact, engage volunteers, and form a powerful network.

Student meal swipes often go to waste. Your chapter can collect unused & donated meal swipes and redirect them to students who may be facing food insecurity on campus.
