An urban food recovery nonprofit rescues surplus edible food from retailers, farms, and institutions across New York City and redirects it to community organizations and households in need. Coordinated pickups, food safety protocols, volunteer drivers, and data-driven routing minimize waste while improving access to nutritious meals. Programs include scheduled pickups, emergency response distributions, and partnerships with shelters, pantries, and community kitchens. Donors, volunteers, and service agencies collaborate to streamline collection, storage, and delivery. Progress is measured by pounds recovered, meals provided, and communities served.
