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.

Community Spotlight:
volunteersSarah S.

Sarah has done 57 food trips (pickups and deliveries) for ExtraFood since she joined us in February. And, she has been invaluable in volunteering consistently at the Thursday Civic Center Farmers Market, jumping in when needed to help at the Sunday farmers’ market as well. Also, she recently recruited a team of volunteers who will staff our presence at the Sunday farmer’s market once per month. Sarah adds so much to the ExtraFood team and we’re grateful for her!
