Mission
Feeding Charlotte rescues surplus, freshly prepared meals to reduce food waste and feed the hungry. We believe no food should be wasted while people go hungry in our community. To make this possible, we pickup unused, excess freshly prepared foods from institutions, dining halls, and caterers (that would otherwise be thrown in the trash) and redirect to nonprofits that feed the hungry.
Program accomplishments
- Food Rescue Program: With 40% of all food produced in the US ending up in a landfill and 17 million food insecure individuals, both the opportunity and the need are great. Feeding Charlotte combats this issue with our Food Rescue Program, which partners with professional kitchens to rescue their surplus, prepared meals. We have a dedicated team of volunteers who pick that food up and deliver it to established community feeding programs, where the meals get distributed to those who need it most. These recipient feeding programs have established roots in the communities they're serving and generally work under these models: Soup kitchens and general feeding programs, afterschool programs and summer camp programs for children in underserved communities, transitional housing facilities for people experiencing homeless or coming out of incarceration, underfunded senior living facilities, medical rehabilitation centers for people experiencing homelessness, and refugee housing communities and programs. The logistics for the program are tracked and managed through innovative software that connects food donors to recipient feeding programs, volunteers to food runs and shares information to all three pieces of the process through an intuitive app. This system also tracks KPIs and data from all food runs and accumulates impact reports throughout the year.Expenses $1,161,174
