Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Waste Not cultivates sustainable food systems that help people and the planet flourish.

  • Waste Not partners with nearly 60 caterers, resorts, kitchens, restaurants, event venues, and grocers to pick up excess food and deliver it to local non-profit agencies. Using an efficient same-day delivery model, a team of professional drivers collects and transports an average of 10,375 pounds of food each weekday. This food is delivered to over 85 nonprofit agencies serving individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, Waste Not diverted approximately 2.65 million pounds of prepared and perishable food from landfills and delivered it to community-based organizations supporting children, adults, and seniors in need.

    Expenses $5,694,696 · Grants $5,103,565

  • To expand its reach and impact, Waste Not launched a food rescue app in December 2019 designed to facilitate smaller-volume donations. The app enables local restaurants, retailers, and other food businesses to post surplus food outside of regular pickup routes. A network of trained volunteer drivers receives real-time alerts, retrieves the food using their personal vehicles while following food safety protocols, and delivers it directly to agency partners best suited to distribute the donations. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, Waste Not's volunteers completed 270 food rescues and redirected more than 13,600 pounds of food from landfills to local organizations feeding our community.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
