Food Recovery in Marin County: By rescuing excess fresh food from businesses and immediately delivering it to nonprofits serving Marin’s most vulnerable children, adults, and families, we address the critical issues of hunger, wasted food, and global warming.

2017 Food Recovery Heroes

We celebrated our 4th birthday in December 2017, and we couldn't think of a better way to mark the occasion than by spotlighting our first-ever group of Food Recovery Heroes! Long-time, dedicated members of our phenomenal team of 600+ volunteers, these men and women have all volunteered for ExtraFood for at least 3 years, and have demonstrated extraordinary dependabilty, commitment, and passion for ExtraFood's mission to end hunger and wasted food in Marin. They are all amazing people.

What energy! What enthusiasm! It’s only been 9 months since Gary — a tremendous athlete —joined ExtraFood as a volunteer food runner and he has already recovered over 5 tons of food! If that weren’t enough, Gary often caps off his food deliveries with a trail run through one of Marin’s beautiful parks. He’s even offered to make food deliveries on his bike. (If that were possible, we know Gary would be the first to do it.) We are so psyched that Gary has chosen to focus some of his incredible energy on helping us to end hunger and food waste in Marin.
