1 in 4 Americans are skipping meals or relying on food donations. Equally troubling is the fact that Americans throw away nearly 40% of our food supply—perfectly good food that could wipe out hunger three times over if it was rescued and delivered to those in need.

WPE has solved the logistical challenge that food markets face—what to do with surplus fresh food—by rescuing and delivering it to address the problem of hunger and malnutrition.

Operating seven days a week, our food recovery program rescues an average of 12,000 pounds of high-quality, largely perishable, surplus fresh food every day. We then sort and customize each delivery to match the preferences of our 90+ nonprofit partner organizations that serve the county’s most vulnerable populations. All of our fresh food donations are provided free of charge.
