Forty percent of all food is wasted in the U.S. And, food waste creates an enormous environmental problem: if global food waste were a country, it would rank 3rd in greenhouse gas emissions after the U.S and China. Yet 1 in 5 people in Marin County, California, worry about where their next meal will come from.
ExtraFood’s mission is to help end hunger and wasted food in Marin. Through our county-wide food recovery program, we rescue excess fresh food from Marin’s businesses and schools and immediately deliver the food to safety net partners – such as senior housing centers, homeless shelters & after-school programs – serving Marin’s most vulnerable children, adults and families. Through our Community Meals program, we work with our restaurant and caterer partners to use their excess capacity and make meals for people who struggle with hunger.
In 6+ years, ExtraFood’s staff and volunteers have organized, rescued, and delivered 4,000,000 pounds of food -- 3.3 million meals -- from 250 organizations to 129 sites throughout the county. ExtraFood, winner of the 2017 Heart of Marin Achievement in Nonprofit Excellence Award, reaches more than 8,000 people with healthy, fresh food.
We are an organization committed to our values, to each other, and to making a difference every day for our community.
ExtraFood is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
