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.

The Giving Marin Community Partnership, a innovative program of the Marin Independent Journal supported by community-minded businesses, awarded ExtraFood $10,000 to further its work on hunger and food waste. ExtraFood was one of 6 nonprofits to receive the award from more than 130 nonprofits that applied. Details are here.

One of ExtraFood’s very first volunteer food runners (and our first Volunteer of the Week back in January 2014), Curt has been a dedicated supporter and ExtraFood advocate for nearly 4 years. In that time, he has completed over 350 food trips, recovering nearly 14,000 lbs of food. Preferring the consistency of regular, recurring food trips, Curt “owns” three: two weekly trips from Novato Community Hospital and one bi-weekly trip from Beso Bistro in Novato. We are truly touched by Curt’s commitment to helping eliminate food waste and hunger in Marin.
