From 2018-2022 Sharing Excess was under fiscal sponsorship, allowing us to start making impact while we set up our 501c3. Three cheers to the Federation of Neighborhood Centers for their guidance during this time. Financials during this period can be provided upon request.

Increasing access to excess for everyone

What started with extra meal swipes has grown to over 100 million pounds of food delivered to communities and organizations addressing food insecurity across 30 states.

Every pound of food we rescue is weighed and categorized to accurately measure our impact. From these numbers, we can paint a great picture of impact in terms of meals, monetary value, and environmental benefit.

pounds of food distributed so far

(live data from app.sharingexcess.com)

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.
