Direct Link: We organize pickup and delivery nationwide from small to high volume partners, connecting surplus to local organizations through logistical coordination outside of our physical service areas. We have partnerships with freight companies to move truckloads of product and rideshare partnerships to facilitate free deliveries with passenger vehicles.
Retail Rescue: We deploy full-time drivers in refrigerated cargo vans to pick up surplus food from retail locations on a daily basis and deliver it to hunger relief organizations. This is streamlined by our custom technology which drivers use for guidance and donation tracking.
