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

Community Spotlight:
food-recipientsMill Street Center, a Homeward Bound facility

Mill Street has been working with us from our very first week, and are now taking regular deliveries from us on Saturdays when very few other nonprofits in Marin will do so. Mill Street provides a critically important service to homeless men and women as the only night-to-night emergency shelter in the county. And their staff is always collaborative and friendly with us. As with all of our recipients, our goal is to help them feed people more, feed more people, and ultimately, to enable them to redirect food budget dollars to their other important services. hbofm.org/Homeless-Adults.html
