How it works

From grocery shelf to family table

Perfectly good food gets thrown out every day. We close the gap between that surplus and the neighbours who need it.

Rescue
Our drivers collect surplus food from grocery stores and suppliers: good food that would otherwise head to landfill.
Sort & pack
Volunteers sort everything and pack it into food hampers, ready to head out to the people who need them.
Deliver
Hampers reach families and community partners facing food insecurity, quickly and efficiently.

Our mission

Good food belongs on tables, not in landfills

Refood is a non-profit founded in 2015. By rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste, we reduce hunger and lower our community's environmental impact at the same time.

Food rescue: preventing good food from going to landfill.
Zero hunger: making sure every community member has access to meals.
Community focus: partnering with local organizations for effective distribution.
