Our Work

From the cafeteria tray to the community table.

A close look at how a recovery actually happens — and the partnerships keeping fresh food moving across the Triangle.

How It Works

Five steps, start to finish.

Same-day, temperature-safe, and logged every time — so partners can count on it.

Current Initiatives

Where the food is coming from today.

Founding program

Cary Academy Cafeteria

Our founding partnership. Fresh, unserved food from daily lunch service is recovered right at the source, hand in hand with Chef Drew and the kitchen team.

Surplus partner

Bruegger's Bagels

End-of-day bagels and baked goods that would otherwise be thrown out, redirected to community partners on a steady weekly rhythm.

Surplus partner

New York Bagel and Deli

Fresh bagels, sandwiches, and deli fare recovered from daily surplus and redirected to community members in need.
