ANTI FOOD WASTAGE

Every day, in every big town and city, enormous quantities of prepared surplus food at marriages, parties and social gatherings gets wasted. This prepared surplus food, which could have been a boon for homeless and hungry people, ends up being thrown away as garbage while many sleep hungry on the same street.

We are a food rescue organization. We pick up freshly prepared food from regulated food businesses (without any cost to the food donor), such as hotels, social functions, cafeterias, and, sometimes even from households, and redistribute this safely to serve the hungry. It is a simple concept with a simple solution.

Many of the people being served are children and working adults earning minimum wage, who need assistance to make ends meet. It is essential that we redirect perfectly edible surplus food away from the landfill to the people who really need it.
