Food Connect is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the gaps in the U.S. food system to build healthier communities. We are passionate about leveraging technology and existing community efforts to bring about a more thoughtful, sustainable, and connected food system in the U.S. There are amazing initiatives happening all over the world, but so much momentum is lost when there is no easy way to connect and collaborate in real time. We are building solutions that reduce barriers to collaboration and increase efficiencies in food distribution, while addressing food insecurity and driving better health outcomes for communities and individuals. At Food Connect, we rescue surplus food that businesses can no longer sell but is still safe to consume and deliver these goods to hunger relief organizations who distribute the food directly to people in need. Through our food rescue partnerships, we are eliminating food waste while reducing food insecurity in communities across the U.S. Additionally, we partner with schools, food banks, healthcare providers, and other organizations to provide home delivery services for individuals and families that improve health outcomes and food security.
Food Connect bridges the gaps in our food system through innovative technology and focused collaboration to build impactful, sustainable hunger relief solutions. We are committed to reducing food insecurity and improving food equity in real-time and working hand in hand with existing community organizations.
Food Connect envisions a world where our food ecosystem thrives on real time, open-network collaboration and scalable distribution services to enable equitable access to healthy food resources.
