Access to food is much more than a basic human need. It's the foundation for improved health, dignity, and community strength. Where nutritious food flows, neighborhoods flourish.
Yet, every day, millions of pounds of perfectly good food go to waste while families go hungry. It doesn't have to be this way.
Just $20/month rescues enough food to feed an entire family for an entire year.
The Collective is a community of people who believe that fresh, healthy food should be accessible to everyone — and who take monthly action to make that vision a reality.
Because individual actions become collective impact. When people come together with a shared mission, we can move mountains (or in our case, tons of rescued food).
See where food is being delivered in your community.
Every month, your gift:
Rescues food that would otherwise go to waste
Feeds families in your community with fresh, nutritious meals
Builds a stronger, more resilient food system for everyone
47 million Americans live with food insecurity. Many are working families who must choose between paying rent and buying groceries, or parents who skip meals so their children can eat. Meanwhile, 140 billion pounds of perfectly good food gets thrown away every year — enough to feed every food-insecure person in America twice over.
We're on a mission to change that equation. When you join The Collective, you're investing in the dignity and well-being of families in your own community. Families have access to fresh, nutritious food. Children get the fuel they need to learn and grow. Parents can focus on work instead of worrying about the next meal. Local food pantries stay stocked. Communities grow stronger. That's the power of collective action.
