Food Forward

Food Forward is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing food waste by recovering surplus fresh produce and distributing it to communities in need. By sustainably providing nutritious food to underserved populations, Food Forward fosters community engagement and contributes to building a more equitable food system. The organization works with farms, farmer’s markets, and grocery stores to rescue food that would otherwise go to waste and delivers it to food banks, shelters, and other community organizations, prioritizing new methods for food procurement and food recovery evaluation to optimize impact. In addition to addressing food insecurity, Food Forward educates the public about the environmental and social benefits of reducing food waste.
