Our Story. Our Mission.
Who We Are
Welcome to Refood, a non-profit organization founded in 2015 dedicated to reducing food waste and ensuring no one goes hungry.
Our core mission is simple: collect surplus food from grocery stores and other suppliers, and distribute it quickly and efficiently to families facing food insecurity.
By rescuing perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste, we simultaneously reduce hunger while lowering our collective environmental impact.
Our Guiding Principles
- ✅ Food Rescue: Preventing food from going to landfill.
- ✅ Zero Hunger: Ensuring all community members have access to meals.
- ✅ Community Focus: Partnering with local organizations for effective distribution.
