Turn dollars into dinners

Every dollar you give helps provide about three meals, and unlike most fundraising math, ours is explained right on this page.

Demo: no payment is processed, ever.

How $1 becomes 3 meals

About 60% of what leaves our warehouse is rescued or donated food that costs us only sorting and fuel. The rest we buy wholesale through a regional food-bank purchasing co-op. That's how one dollar stretches to roughly three meals: a number we recalculate every year and explain on our impact page.

~60% rescued or donated. Grocers, farms, and bakeries give us good food headed for the bin: our cost is sorting and fuel.
The rest bought wholesale. Through a regional food-bank co-op, a pallet of pasta costs us a fraction of the shelf price.
Meals counted at the scale. 1.2 lbs = 1 meal, weighed on the way out of the warehouse. We recalculate the ratio every year, in public, on our impact page.

Rather give food or time? Both count just as much here. Drop groceries at the dock (Mon–Sat 8am–6pm) or grab a shift. And if this page finds you needing food rather than giving it: come see us, no questions asked.
