About Us

We provide emergency hunger-relief meals to the Greater Seattle community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2.2 million meals and counting since March 2020. We are looking to partner with farms, organizations, and individuals who have excess or unsellable food that we can incorporate into our hunger relief meals. We can provide transportation and labor to help you reduce your food waste, while expanding your community outreach and engagement through volunteer gleaning events and social media spotlights, as well as access to tax deductions.
