We Don't Waste works to reduce hunger and food waste in the Denver area by recovering quality, unused food from the food industry and delivering it to nonprofit partners, such as food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, schools and daycare programs, and more. Since 2009, We Don't Waste has recovered and distributed more than 27,000,000 servings of food!
Hunger is a huge problem in our community. As many as 1 in 9 Coloradans are experiencing food insecurity - and the rate is even higher for people of color and households with children. Despite this, 40%, yes FORTY percent, of food produced in the United States ends up in the landfill. We can change this together! Help me by joining in and showing your support for We Don't Waste.
