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.
Since 2021, we’ve partnered with the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market to create a full-scale surplus rescue operation. Together, we’ve rescued over 25 million pounds of fresh food — turning unsold food into fresh food access for communities across the region.
In partnership with Beast Philanthropy, we’ve moved over 30 million pounds of food — and redefined what large-scale generosity can look like. From surprise warehouse visits to viral video moments, this collaboration continues to raise awareness and feed communities on an unprecedented scale.
Every day of the week, across multiple cities and states, Trader Joe’s is helping us rescue perfectly good food from going to waste. By donating fresh surplus from their stores nationwide, they’re proving that corporate partnerships can be both impactful and consistent.
In the heart of the Bronx, we’ve built a thriving food rescue operation at the Hunts Point Produce Market — one of the largest produce markets in the world. Since launching, we’ve rescued over 12 million pounds of food, proving that even the biggest sources of surplus can be part of the solution.
As supporters of our operation at Hunts Point, Misfits Market is helping power one of the most ambitious food rescue efforts in the country. Their support ensures that surplus food is recovered at the source — and redirected quickly to where it’s needed most.
We’re proud to work with the Tony Robbins Foundation to help close the national meal gap. and expand our work internationally. Their support enables us to scale our work globally and bring millions more meals to families facing hunger.
