- We currently have a list on our website that needs to be updated, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an old list https://www.kaizenfoodrescue.org/resources, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to to purchase milk, eggs, and frozen meats for our community.
This project will directly assist individuals with limited internet proficiency by providing tangible support through food distribution events. By focusing on practical assistance rather than digital platforms, we bridge the accessibility gap, ensuring all members of the community can benefit from our services.

Our mission
According to the National Resources Defense Council, 40% of the food supply in the U.S. is wasted, which works out to more than 20 pounds of food per person per month, (NRDC, 2017). To combat this adversity, Kaizen Food Rescue aims Kaizen Food Share aims to prevent food waste and improve food justice and health equity in communities facing food apartheid.
What we do
Kaizen Food Rescue combats food waste by collecting surplus edible food from food banks, businesses, and farms, redirecting it to communities facing food insecurity. We also support local farmers through grant-funded purchases. Through partnerships and community efforts, we distribute this food to our culturally responsive mobile food pantries, schools, and under-resourced communities. Additionally, we offer nutrition and garden education, advocacy, and development workshops to promote sustainable practices. To date, we've shared over 14 million pounds of food with hundreds of thousands of people across 100+ zip codes.
