Help Me Feed Families + Protect our Planet

Hey! I'm Caroline, We Don't Waste's Sr. Communications & Marketing Manager. I do a lot of the behind-the-scenes work on emails, social media, and the occasional ad. 

This is me in the AV booth for Fill a Plate for Hunger! Best view in the house.

I have been privileged enough to have been on this team for over 4 years now, and I've met hundreds of people personally that have been impacted through our markets and distribution.

I can't stress enough how important this food is for people, and how it's changed their lives. I've seen some kids grow up at these markets, from shy 4-year-olds who would wave at my camera, to 8-year-olds that know markets mean free time to run around with their siblings while mom grabs food for the week. 

Knowing you have access to food means everything. It's peace of mind. It's health. It's quality time with family. It's a jar of leftover sauce to take to the neighbors. 

Please consider donating and helping us keep this work going. It genuinely changes lives, and our community is so grateful to have it as a resource.

I'm fundraising to help feed our neighbors and protect our planet from food waste! Did you know that 1 in 7 Coloradans will experience food insecurity this year, and yet 40% of all food produced in the US ends up in the landfill? We can change that!

Your donations to this campaign will benefit We Don't Waste, Colorado's leading independent food recovery nonprofit, and my favorite cause. 

By rescuing surplus food from the food industry, We Don't Waste prevents millions of pounds of food from ending up in our landfill, and provides our community with millions of meals instead. 

This organization helps feed our neighbors and builds a healthier, happier community. This food benefits kids, adults, seniors, veterans, single moms, people who are in transitional housing or are temporarily unhoused, and more. Everyone deserves to eat, and I'm proud to be supporting this organization.
