The Impact of Food Waste

  • The USDA estimates that 30-40% of all food is wasted in the US! 
  • Wasted food = wasted resources
    (grocery budget, water, energy, labor)

Give Back to Your Community 

  • Donate unused, non-expired food to local food banks (visit our Food Donation page for a directory)
  • Partner with programs like Feeding America or your local food pantry 
  • Support businesses that donate their surplus food
