Food Waste Organizations
Divert
Since 2007, we’ve been helping retail supply chains realize a smaller cost (or see a greater return) on resource recovery efforts, from trackable recycling bins to organics backhauling; from energy generation to innovative solutions for untapped opportunities like waxed cardboard. Every customer we meet presents an opportunity to ask new questions, break down old assumptions and create new solutions toward a waste-free future.

Goodr
At Goodr, we believe that hunger isn’t a scarcity issue. It’s a logistics issue. Even with many social programs that aim to end hunger, the current food supply chain ecosystem in the United States has failed to solve this problem which has grown into a national epidemic.

Food Forward
1 in 9 Californians lacks adequate access to food. That’s nearly 4 million people. At the same time, 40% of food in the United States, or 80 billion pounds, is wasted every year. Food Forward creates a sustainable solution to both these problems. Our dedicated team members and volunteers—people just like you—recover fruits and vegetables that would have been wasted from backyard fruit trees, public orchards, farmers markets, and the downtown Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. We connect this abundance of nutritious food to people experiencing food insecurity, donating 100% of the produce we recover to hunger relief agencies across Southern California, and to tribal lands in Arizona and New Mexico.
