What started with extra meal swipes has grown to over 50 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.
