What is wrong with this picture?

- 40% of food is never eaten
- 38 million Americans, including 12 million children, are food insecure
- 20% of landfill content is food waste
Help us connect the dots and ensure that food nourishes people rather than stuffs landfills!
Your donation will help us continue our efforts at the campus, regional and national level to reduce and redirect wasted food to support food security, conserve natural resources, reduce environmental damages and support a more sustainable and equitable food system for all.
