By rescuing excess fresh food from businesses, securing freshly-made meals, and immediately delivering the food to nonprofits serving Marin’s most vulnerable children, seniors, and families, we address the critical issues of hunger, wasted food & climate change.

Business managers: Did you know you get great tax deductions for donating food? Eligible businesses can deduct the lesser of (a) 2x the basis value of the donated food & (b) the profit margin if the food were sold at its Fair Market Value. Details from Harvard are here.
