Food Stash Foundation is a registered charity established in 2016 to prevent good food from going to waste while providing dignified food across that supports a thriving planet and a healthy community.

Each month we rescue over 140,000 pounds of surplus perishable food from over 35 local grocery stores and wholesalers.

We distribute about 80% of this nutritious food to 51 community-serving partner organizations, with the remaining 20% provided directly to community members through weekly Rescued Food Box home deliveries.

A Rescued Food Market serving an average of about 120 people per week and a 24/7 open access Community Fridge and Pantry.

In 2025 our Operations and Food Recovery Manager visited many grocery stores to demonstrate and educate.
