| About us | Food Finders is a food rescue nonprofit organization with a primary focus of reducing hunger while also reducing food waste. We coordinate the daily pick-up of donated excess food from grocers, restaurants, hospitals, schools, manufacturers and more; food is then distributed directly and immediately to nonprofit recipients, such as pantries, shelters, youth programs and senior centers, to be used for serving hot meals or as grocery distribution for people who are struggling and food insecure. Our Food Rescue program ensures millions of pounds of wholesome food helps feed people, not landfills. |
