Feed people, not landfills

In 2013, 37 million tons of wasted food were thrown away in the United States. At the same time, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 14 percent of American households were uncertain of having or unable to acquire enough food to meet the needs of all of their members at some time during 2013. In many cases, the food tossed into our nation's landfills is wholesome, edible food.

Instead of feeding landfills, we should be feeding people.

We collect unspoiled, healthy food and deliver it to our neighbors in need. By redistributing food, we're feeding people, supporting local communities, and saving money.

Plate it Forward – More than one in three Texas households with children did not have enough money to buy food at some point in the previous 12 months. Acquiring adequate food resources has a positive correlation on the health and academic achievement of children and receiving food assistance stabilizes the entire family as it allows scarce resources to be used to pay for housing and other basic needs.

Receive tax benefits by donating – If you donate healthy, safe, and edible food to hungry people, your organization can claim tax benefits. The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act (PDF) protects food donors from legal liability.
