Help Me Feed Families + Protect our Planet

My name is Samson Eberhart and I had the honor and privilege of joining We Don't Waste's Board of Directors earlier this year.  Over the past few years while volunteering in numerous capacities, I have seen first-hand how impactful this organization is within our community.  Through re-directing food that is otherwise destined for the landfill and providing it directly (or through partner organizations) to our hungry neighbors, WDW is doing amazing work in serving vulnerable populations.  

While there are so many reasons why I am excited (as should you!) to support We Don’t Waste’s mission, at the top of the list is because environmental stewardship can take many forms—it is a win-win when those sustainable actions can also help fight hunger in our own backyards. The dual benefit that this impact-oriented organization creates in our community is something worth standing behind. 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.

Every dollar donated results in an estimated 4 meals of recovered food in the community!
