Sharing Excess

PHILADELPHIA, PA

    • Mission

    Our vision is a more sustainable and equitable food system. We believe everyone deserves access to the basic resources they need to thrive — especially when those same resources are being thrown away by the billions. Food waste isn’t just bad for the planet. It’s a missed opportunity for humanity. That’s why we’re building smarter systems to make sharing surplus simple, scalable, and community-powered.

    About Us

    Sharing Excess is a food rescue non-profit started in Philadelphia in 2018. We bridge the gap between excess and scarcity by partnering with grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers to deliver surplus food to a network of nonprofits, food banks, and community organizations to alleviate local food insecurity.

    150,000,000 POUNDS OF FOOD RESCUED

    600,000,000 POUNDS OF CO2 DIVERTED

    Sharing Excess has distributed enough surplus to food to feed over 10 million people across the country. This is all value that we’re proud to get back in the hands of the communities we serve, instead of letting it go to waste in a landfill.

    Cause Areas Include

    • Community Development
    • Environment & Sustainability
    • Hunger, Food Security
