We Believe...

Food Connection has rescued and delivered well over 100,000 fresh, gourmet meals and connected them to those in need. We need your help to continue. Your support will allow us to expand our mission because we firmly believe that no fresh food should ever end up in the trash while people go hungry. 

What is Food Connection?

What we do

Does anyone else think it's ridiculous that fresh food continues to pollute America's landfills while people go hungry? If so, you've landed on the right site.


Food Connection collects surplus fresh meals from restaurants, caterers and institutions, and delivers them to community partners who feed those in need, in order to reduce food waste and ease the pain of immediate hunger. 


Where we are operating

Currently Food Connection is operating in Buncombe County, North Carolina, in cities including Asheville, Swannanoa and Black Mountain, and have just begun operating in Charlotte, NC. 


That being said, we'd love to start a food rescue revolution in other places. Get in touch!

Our Mission

Food Connection relieves hunger while reducing waste by connecting surplus freshly prepared meals with those experiencing food insecurity.


Because this makes total sense, right?
